Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb halved baby Yukon gold potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
Step 2: Meanwhile, pat 12 oz ribeye steak dry and season both sides with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot.
Step 3: Add the steak to the dry skillet and sear without moving for 4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare.
Step 4: Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tbsp unsalted butter and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steak continuously for 2 minutes until fragrant and the steak reaches desired doneness.
Step 5: Remove steak and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve topped with garlic butter from the pan alongside the herb-roasted potatoes.
