This garlic butter steak and potatoes recipe is made in the skillet for an easy 30 minute weeknight dinner. Juicy tender steak with crispy potatoes is a family favorite!
Prepare potatoes and steak. Rub the steak rub (or salt and pepper) over the meat and let rest for 10-15 minutes while you cook the potatoes. Then cut into 1 inch cubes.
Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 1-2 Tablespoons butter. Once butter has melted, add the potatoes into the skillet. Cook for a minute and then sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt and pepper over top. Cook for 10-12 more minutes (or until fork tender), stirring frequently to prevent burning. Set aside on a plate once cooked.
Turn the heat to medium high heat and add in another Tablespoons of butter with the steak cubes and garlic. Place evenly on the pan and let sear for 1 minute and then flip with a fork or spatula to the other side. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and no longer pink. Be careful to not over cook.
Add the potatoes back into the skillet and remove from the heat. Top with fresh herbs if desired. Serve while warm.
