Ingredients:

2-4 small steak slices (such as ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2-4 pounds small potatoes, diced
2-6 tablespoons salted butter, soft enough to mash with a fork (1 tablespoon for each steak slice, plus 2 tablespoons for the potatoes)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon freshly minced parsley (for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of softened butter, minced garlic, and dried Italian herbs (and fresh thyme, if using). Set aside.
Season the Steaks:
Generously season the steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Cook the Steaks:
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Cook the Potatoes:
In the same skillet, add the diced potatoes. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until the potatoes begin to brown.
Add the Steaks Back In:
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and return the seared steaks to the other side. Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven.
Roast in the Oven:
Roast the skillet in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the steaks have reached your preferred level of doneness. (Use a meat thermometer if needed: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, 150°F for medium-well.)
Finish with Garlic Butter:
As soon as the skillet is out of the oven, spread a little garlic butter on each steak. Add the remaining butter to the potatoes, allowing it to melt and coat them. Flip the potatoes to ensure they are all covered with the buttery goodness.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with freshly chopped thyme and parsley before serving.

Enjoy!
