Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb (650g) steak cut (flank)
- 1.5 lb (650g) baby yellow potatoes
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp butter (for marinade)
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp fresh oregano
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup soy sauce (or coconut amino)
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (Sriracha)
- Crushed red chili pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate steak strips in a blend of soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and seasonings within a large mixing bowl. Allow ingredients to meld for enhanced flavor absorption.
- Heat skillet to medium-high temperature. Add olive oil and butter, creating a golden melting base. Introduce potato cubes, cooking for 4 minutes per side until achieving a crispy, caramelized exterior. Transfer potatoes to a separate plate once golden brown.
- In the same skillet, incorporate remaining butter, minced garlic, optional chili flakes, and fresh herbs. Carefully place marinated steak pieces, ensuring they do not overlap. Sear each side for approximately 1 minute, adjusting duration based on desired meat doneness.
- Pour reserved marinade into skillet, allowing liquid to reduce and intensify flavors for one minute. Reintegrate roasted potatoes, gently mixing to ensure even coating and temperature distribution.
- Perform final seasoning adjustments. Plate the dish with artistic flair, garnishing with additional herbs, optional chili flakes, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for added complexity and visual appeal.
Notes
- Marinate steak strips at room temperature for even flavor absorption and tenderness.
- Use high-heat cooking oil like avocado or grapeseed for better searing and preventing burning.
- Pat steak dry before cooking to ensure a perfect golden-brown crust and prevent steaming.
- For gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting chili quantities or using different pepper varieties like jalapeño or red pepper flakes.
- Choose steak cuts like sirloin or ribeye with good marbling for maximum juiciness and flavor.
- Allow meat to rest 3-5 minutes after cooking to redistribute internal juices and maintain optimal tenderness.
