Instructions

Step 1: Season the steaks on both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking, then add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 130°F), then remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss the potato sticks with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
