Save A classic steakhouse favorite featuring perfectly seared steak topped with rich garlic-herb butter, served with crisp golden fries.
I first made this recipe to recreate the authentic steakhouse experience for my family on a Friday night. The aroma of garlic and fresh herbs mingles seamlessly with sizzling steak, making every meal feel special.
Ingredients
- Steak: 4 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 225 g (8 oz) each), room temperature, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1½ tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Garlic Butter: 100 g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened, 3 cloves garlic, finely minced, 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp lemon juice, ½ tsp salt
- Fries: 800 g (1¾ lbs) russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries, 3 tbsp vegetable oil, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Fries:
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Toss the potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Make Garlic Butter:
- While fries cook, mix butter, garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Chill for 10 minutes.
- Season Steaks:
- Pat steaks dry. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Sear Steaks:
- Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Sear steaks 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness.
- Rest Steaks:
- Transfer steaks to a plate, top with a generous spoonful of garlic butter, and rest 5 minutes.
- Serve:
- Serve steaks with fries and extra garlic butter on the side.
