Ingredients
- 16 oz ribeye steak
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1 lb halved fingerling potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb halved fingerling potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1/2 tsp salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
- Step 2: While potatoes roast, pat 16 oz ribeye steak dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Step 3: Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add ribeye steak and sear for 4 minutes without moving, then flip and cook another 3 minutes for medium-rare.
- Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low, add 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme to the pan. Spoon melted butter over steak continuously for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the steak is coated.
- Step 5: Remove steak from pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Toss roasted fingerling potatoes with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving alongside the garlic butter ribeye.
