In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil (or butter) and heat it over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the steaks in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steak and desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C) internal temperature.
If you like, add a tablespoon of butter and spoon it over the steaks for extra flavor.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
Combine & Serve:
While the steaks are resting, add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet to warm them up, mixing in any leftover steak drippings for extra flavor.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve alongside the potatoes.
Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips:
You can add vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the skillet along with the potatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
If you like your steak well-done, you can reduce the heat slightly and cook it longer, but be careful not to overcook it.
Enjoy your skillet steak and potatoes! It’s a comforting, savory meal perfect for any night.
