How do I know when the steak is done?

A good way to check the doneness of steak is by using a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130°F (54°C) and for medium, around 140°F (60°C). If you don't have a thermometer, you can also press the steak; it should feel firm but slightly springy to the touch.

Can I use different cuts of meat for this recipe?

Absolutely! While t-bone steaks are recommended for their flavor and tenderness, you can use any steak cut you prefer. Ribeye and sirloin work beautifully, or for a lighter option, chicken thighs can be a tasty substitute.

What can I serve with Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes?

Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread. These sides can help balance the meal, adding freshness and crunch to complement the rich flavors.

Can I prepare the steak in advance?

You can marinate the steak in advance for extra flavor. However, for optimal taste, it is best to cook it fresh just before serving. Leftovers can be stored and reheated, maintaining good flavor.

How do I store leftovers?

Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to two days, and when reheating, do so gently on the stovetop or in the oven to preserve the steak's tenderness.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Boil baby potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Once done, drain and set aside.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, then sear each side for 4-5 minutes until cooked to your liking. Remove the steaks and let them rest.
Add the remaining butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant.
Toss the boiled baby potatoes in the skillet to coat in the garlic butter sauce until warmed through.
Serve the seared steak alongside the garlic butter potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Let the steak rest after cooking for maximum juiciness. You can substitute t-bone with ribeye or sirloin if desired.
