Ingredients
- 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
-
Prep the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the potatoes thinly without cutting all the way through. This creates a ‘fan’ effect. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet.
-
Season & bake: Brush the sliced potatoes with melted butter and olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the potatoes are crispy and golden.
-
Prepare the steak: Let the steaks sit at room temperature for a while. Pat them dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Sear the steak: In a hot cast-iron skillet, heat some olive oil. Add the steaks and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. In the last minute, toss in butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary. Baste the steaks with melted butter for extra flavor.
-
Rest and serve: After cooking, let the steaks rest for 5 minutes. Slice them up and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and fresh parsley. Serve the steak alongside those crispy Hasselback potatoes.
Tips to Make Perfectly Seared Steak with Crispy Hasselback Potatoes
- Use room temperature steaks: Letting the steaks come to room temperature before cooking helps them cook evenly.
- Don’t skip the resting time: Resting the steak after cooking keeps it juicy and flavorful.
- Try different seasonings: Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices for a unique twist!
- Watch the potatoes: Keep an eye on the potatoes as they bake. Each oven may vary, so adjust the time accordingly.
Enjoy this delightful meal that brings bold flavors together in a simple yet elegant way! Happy cooking!
