Sizzling Skillet Steak & Potatoes: Your One-Pan Weeknight Hero

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and cut potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Ensure even coating.
2. 2

   Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add potatoes in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally (every 5-7 mins), for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and tender. Remove potatoes to a plate and tent with foil, leaving pan drippings.
3. 3

   Pat steak very dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with 1 tsp coarse sea salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
4. 4

   Increase skillet heat to high. Add 1 tbsp olive oil. Once oil shimmers, carefully place steak in the hot pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.
5. 5

   Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, and rosemary to the skillet. Tilt the pan and baste the steak continuously with the melted butter, garlic, and herb mixture for 1-2 minutes per side, or until desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare).
6. 6

   Remove steak from skillet and let rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This is crucial for juicy results.
7. 7

   While steak rests, return warm potatoes to the skillet. Toss gently in any remaining pan juices and butter.
8. 8

   Slice rested steak against the grain. Arrange sliced steak and potatoes on a platter or serve directly from the skillet. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.
