Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 6 ounces/170 grams each)
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- Salt (to taste)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- Ground black pepper (to taste)
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear, removing excess moisture that prevents browning.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper, allowing the meat to absorb the seasoning for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Peel and cube potatoes into uniform chunks to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Place potato cubes in cold, salted water and bring to a gentle boil, cooking until tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 15-18 minutes.
- While potatoes simmer, heat a cast-iron skillet until smoking hot to achieve a beautiful caramelized crust on the steaks.
- Add olive oil to the skillet, then carefully place steaks, cooking 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or 4-5 minutes for medium doneness.
- During the last minute of steak cooking, add butter, crushed garlic, rosemary, and thyme to create a fragrant herb-infused basting sauce.
- Remove steaks and let them rest on a cutting board, allowing juices to redistribute for 5-7 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and return to the warm pot, then mash with warm cream, butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the garlic herb butter over the rested steaks just before serving to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Plate the creamy mashed potatoes alongside the glistening, herb-infused steaks for a restaurant-quality meal.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, well-marbled steak cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and flavor.
- Rest the steak for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a more succulent bite.
- Use a meat thermometer to achieve precise doneness without overcooking, preventing dry and tough steak.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or milk in mashed potatoes, reducing overall fat content.
