Instructions
 

  • Preparing the Steak:
  • Season the Steaks:

  • Cook the Steaks:

  • Drain the potatoes and set aside.
  • Make the Garlic Butter:
  • In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Combine the Potatoes and Garlic Butter:
  • Add the cooked potatoes back to the pot and toss to coat them in the garlic butter.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish:
  • Transfer the garlic butter potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
  • Serving:
