Season the steaks generously with salt, pepper, and a little thyme or rosemary.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for desired doneness). After flipping, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and melt it over the steaks, basting the meat as it cooks.
Add the Aromatics:
Remove the steaks and set them aside to rest. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Combine the Potatoes:
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic and onion. Let them cook together for another 2-3 minutes to reheat.
Serve:
Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Enjoy your skillet steak and potatoes! It’s a hearty, satisfying meal with a delicious savory flavor.
