Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ lb Flank steak, sliced against the grain

1 ½ lb Baby yellow potatoes, quartered

1 tablespoon Olive oil

3 tablespoons Butter, divided

5 cloves Garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped

1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon Fresh oregano, chopped

Salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional

1/3 cup Soy sauce (for marinade)

1 tablespoon Olive oil (for marinade)

1 tablespoon Hot sauce (e.g. Sriracha, for marinade)

Fresh cracked pepper (for marinade)

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, and a few cracks of black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 15-20 minutes (while you prep the potatoes).

Place quartered baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 5-6 minutes, just until potatoes begin to soften. Drain well and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pre-cooked potatoes in a single layer. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Remove potatoes to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Sear the marinated steak strips in batches, without overcrowding, for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove steak from the skillet and cover to keep warm.

Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and a pinch of chili flakes (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Return potatoes and steak to the skillet. Gently toss everything so it’s well-coated in the herby garlic butter. Adjust seasoning to taste, sprinkle with chopped parsley or extra red pepper flakes if desired, and serve immediately.
