Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet

Ingredients:

• 2-4 petite steaks (*refer to note*)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic powder to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2-4 pounds baby potatoes, diced
• 2-6 tablespoons salted butter, softened enough to mash with a fork (1 tablespoon per steak, plus two tablespoons for the potatoes)
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, and dried herbs; set aside.
3. Generously season steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
4. Place a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with oil. Sear steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
5. Add diced potatoes to the skillet; season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until browned.
6. Push potatoes to one side of the pan and return steaks to the other side of the pan.
7. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender, and the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness.
8. Immediately after removing from the oven, place a dollop of the garlic butter on each steak and the remaining butter on the potatoes. Let it melt over the food before stirring the potatoes to coat in butter. Top with chopped thyme and parsley before serving.
