After that, drain the potatoes and set them aside. They are ready to join the fun later! Grab a large skillet and heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add your seasoned steaks. Sear them for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. This gives them a nice brown crust. Cook until they reach your favorite doneness. Once done, remove the steaks and let them rest on a plate. Cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Lower the heat to medium in the same skillet. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let it melt, then add minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme.

These cuts still give you a nice flavor. Just remember to adjust cooking time based on thickness. Always aim for a good sear to lock in those juices. If you want a vegetarian dish, skip the steak. Focus on the garlic butter potatoes instead. Boil the potatoes as before. Sauté them in garlic butter, rosemary, and thyme. Add some veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor. This dish keeps the taste but makes it meat-free. For a kick, try a spicy garlic butter version. Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter. You can also toss in some diced jalapeños. This adds heat without losing the dish's essence. Adjust the spice level to your liking. Enjoy the flavor explosion that comes with each bite!

Ingredients
  

2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)

4 medium-sized baby potatoes, quartered

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by bringing the steaks to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

    While the steaks are resting, boil the quartered baby potatoes in salted water for about 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

      In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steaks to the skillet and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil.

        In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

          Add the boiled baby potatoes to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic herb butter mixture. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the potatoes are crispy and nicely coated.

            Return the rested steaks to the skillet and spoon some garlic butter over them. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm up the steak.

              Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an aromatic finish.
