Steak and Potatoes is a classic, hearty meal featuring juicy, pan-seared steak paired with golden, crispy potatoes. Easy to make and endlessly customizable, it’s the perfect go-to dish for comfort food lovers and special occasions alike.

Ingredients

  • 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip)
  • 1 lb potatoes (Yukon gold, red, or baby), chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more as needed)
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes. Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, toss chopped potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs (if using).
  3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Add more oil to the same skillet if needed. Place steaks in the hot pan and sear for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  5. Optional: During the last minute of cooking, add butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan and spoon over the steak for added flavor.
  6. Remove steaks from the skillet and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve sliced steak alongside the crispy potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs or a pat of butter, if desired.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 160°F for well-done.Leave potato skins on for added texture and nutrients.Try steak bites and potatoes in one pan for quicker cooking and easy cleanup.Top potatoes with cheese, green onions. Resting the steak after cooking ensures juicier, more flavorful meat.
