Thisgarlic butter steak and potatoes skillet is a simple and flavorful 30 minute weeknight dinner made in one pan with juicy pan-seared steak and roasted potatoes!
Prepare potatoes and steak. Rub 2 teaspoons 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.
Cook potatoes. Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 1-2 Tablespoons butter. Once butter has melted, add 1 pound potatoes into the skillet. Cook for a minute and then sprinkle 1 teaspoon 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.
Sear steak. Turn the heat to medium high heat and add in 1 Tablespoons of butter with the steak cubes and 2-3 cloves 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.
Combine. Add the potatoes back into the skillet and remove from the heat. Top with fresh herbs if desired. Serve while warm.
