Ingredients

24 petite steaks (*see note below)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Garlic powder, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

24 pounds baby potatoes, diced

26 tablespoons salted butter (soft, one tablespoon per steak, plus 2 tablespoons for potatoes)

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Note: Petite sirloin or filet medallions work well. Adjust quantity based on serving size and preference.

Instructions

Prep Butter & Season Steaks:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mash together butter, garlic, and dried Italian herbs.
Season steaks generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Sear Steaks:
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add olive oil and sear steaks for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned.
Transfer steaks to a plate and set aside.

Cook Potatoes:
Add diced baby potatoes to the same skillet.
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and sauté for 3–5 minutes until golden and starting to crisp.

Bake:
Push potatoes to one side of the pan and return steaks to the other side.
Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and steak reaches your desired doneness.

Add Garlic Butter & Herbs:
Immediately after removing from oven, place a dollop of garlic herb butter on each steak and spread remaining butter over the potatoes.
Let it melt and coat everything.
Stir potatoes to fully coat in butter.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme and parsley before serving.

Notes

Adjust steak doneness by reducing or increasing bake time.

For crispier potatoes, spread them out evenly and avoid overcrowding the pan.

Substitute fresh herbs with dried if needed, using 1/3 the amount.

A cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet is ideal for even cooking.
