Ingredients (Quantities):

For the Steak:

  • Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon): 2 (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt and black pepper: to taste
  • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon

For the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

  • Butter: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic (minced): 4 cloves
  • Heavy cream: 1 cup
  • Parmesan cheese (grated): ¾ cup
  • Italian seasoning: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt and black pepper: to taste
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

For the Roasted Potatoes:

  • Baby potatoes (halved): 1.5 lbs
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt and black pepper: to taste
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional): 1 tablespoon, chopped

Optional Ingredients:

  • Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon, for brightness
  • Chili flakes: a pinch, for heat

Instructions:

1. Roast the Potatoes:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs (if using).
  • Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through.

2. Prepare the Steak:

  • While the potatoes are roasting, season the steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust time depending on your preferred doneness). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

3. Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

  • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and add the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce is creamy and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Serve:

  • Slice the rested steak and serve it on plates with a generous drizzle of creamy garlic parmesan sauce over the top. Serve alongside the roasted potatoes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness if desired.

Tips for Success:

  • Let the steak rest: This helps retain the juices for a more tender bite.
  • Check potato doneness: Potatoes should be fork-tender and crispy on the outside; cook longer if needed.
  • Adjust the sauce: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to thin it out.

Recommendations:

  • Pair this meal with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete dinner.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
