Ingredients
- 2 beef steaks ribeye or sirloin
- 2 large potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp paprika
- Fresh parsley chopped
- Sour cream optional
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Wash potatoes well under running water. Pat dry with a towel. Pierce each potato with a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle salt evenly.
Bake the Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place potatoes on a baking tray. Bake for 35–40 minutes until soft inside and crispy outside.
Season the Steak
- Take steaks out of the fridge. Let them rest at room temperature. Season both sides with salt, black pepper and paprika evenly.
Heat the Pan
- Place a skillet on medium-high heat. Add a little oil. Let the pan get very hot before adding steak. This helps create a nice crust.
Cook the Steak
- Place steak in the hot pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes on one side. Flip and cook the other side. Adjust time based on your preferred doneness.
Add Butter and Garlic
- Add butter and crushed garlic to the pan. Spoon melted butter over the steak. This adds extra flavor and keeps the steak juicy.
Rest the Steak
- Remove steak from the pan. Let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps juices stay inside and keeps the meat tender.
Serve the Dish
- Cut open baked potatoes. Add butter or sour cream. Serve with steak and garnish with parsley. Enjoy hot for best taste.
Notes
- Use room temperature steak for even cooking
- Do not skip resting time for juicy meat
- Pierce potatoes to avoid bursting
- Use high heat for a good steak crust
- Add butter for rich flavor
