Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp room temperature unsalted butter with 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb halved baby Yukon gold potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. Step 3: While potatoes roast, pat 2 ribeye steaks dry and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steaks and sear for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, spooning pan juices over the steaks as they cook.
  5. Step 5: Remove steaks from heat and top each with 2 tbsp garlic herb butter. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Plate steaks with herb roasted potatoes and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes before serving.
