A quick, comforting garlic butter steak dinner with perfectly seared steak and tender roasted vegetables, perfect for family meals and weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1½ pounds ribeye or sirloin steak (about 1-inch thick)
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (56g)
  • 4 large garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (450g)
  • 1 bunch asparagus or green beans (about 12 ounces / 340g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • Salt and pepper, to season vegetables
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. After 20 minutes, add asparagus or green beans tossed with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast together for another 10-15 minutes until veggies are tender and potatoes are golden.
  3. While veggies roast, pat steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat. Place steak in pan and sear without moving for 3-4 minutes until deep brown crust forms.
  5. Flip steak and sear other side for 3 minutes.
  6. Add remaining butter, smashed garlic cloves, and fresh thyme or rosemary to pan. Tilt pan and baste steak continuously with melted butter and garlic-herb mixture for 4-5 minutes, spooning every 30 seconds.
  7. Check doneness with instant-read thermometer (130°F/54°C for medium-rare, 140°F/60°C for medium) or by touch. Remove steak and rest on plate tented loosely with foil for 5-7 minutes.
  8. Once veggies are out of oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over them.
  9. Slice steak against the grain, drizzle with garlic butter from pan, and serve with roasted potatoes and veggies.

Notes

Let steak rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking to retain juices. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. If steak is thinner than 1 inch, reduce searing time to 2-3 minutes per side. Butter basting keeps steak juicy and flavorful. Start roasting potatoes first, then add quicker-cooking veggies later to avoid mushiness.
