Meat and Potatoes Night Recipe
Main Dish: Skillet-Seared Steak with Garlic Butter
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (1-inch thick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Prep the steak: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
- Sear the steak: Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Add garlic and butter: Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks, and add herbs if desired for a burst of flavor.
- Rest the steak: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
