Pan Seared Steak and Roasted Steak Fries

I think this turned out better than grilling it or better than you get in a restaurant. It’s rather tedious to sit and baste the steaks but oh so worth it! I also cut up potatoes and cooked them in the pan drippings
 

Pan Seared Steak

Ingredients:

Steak

Salt & Pepper

Olive Oil

Butter

Garlic, minced

Parsley

 

Directions:

-Salt and Pepper your steak

-Heat a cast iron skillet until hot with a couple teaspoons of olive oil

-Place steak seasoned side down in skillet

-Add salt and pepper to the unseasoned side of the steak

-Let steak cook a couple minutes before turning

-In a small bowl mix together butter, garlic, and parsley

-Add a couple slabs of butter mixture to the skillet on the sides of the steak

-Let cook a couple more minutes before flipping, continuously ladling the butter to the top of the steak.

-After you flip the steak, continue to baste the steak with the butter

-Keep basting and flipping until steak is cooked through or finish cooking in the oven like I did at 400 degrees for about 6-8 minutes.

-Allow steak to rest about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Potatoes:

I cut up steak fries with potatoes, topped with olive oil and seasoning and baked until done.

I left the drippings in the pan, added butter, and finished the potatoes in the drippings for a nice crisp to them... Yummy!
