A simple yet gourmet steak dinner for two featuring perfectly seared ribeye steaks and crispy roasted potatoes. This recipe is easy to follow and delivers steakhouse-quality flavor at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 10–12 oz / 280-340g each), USDA Choice or better
  • 3 medium russet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs / 700g)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin for potatoes, neutral oil like canola or vegetable for steak)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel potatoes if desired, then cut into 1-inch chunks. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and half the rosemary and thyme. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  2. While potatoes roast, pat ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Let rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot. Add 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Place steaks in pan and sear for 3-4 minutes without moving until a deep golden crust forms.
  4. Flip steaks and add butter, smashed garlic, and remaining rosemary and thyme to the pan. Tilt pan and baste steaks repeatedly with melted butter for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Transfer skillet to preheated oven or move steaks to a baking sheet if skillet is not oven-safe. Cook for 5-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
  6. Remove steaks from oven and rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  7. Sprinkle roasted potatoes with flaky sea salt and fresh herbs if desired. Slice steak against the grain and serve alongside potatoes, drizzling any buttery garlic pan juices over the top.

Notes

Rest steaks after cooking to keep them juicy. Use a hot skillet for a perfect crust. Season generously with salt. Flip steaks only once. Save and drizzle pan juices over steak and potatoes for extra flavor. Potatoes should be spaced out on the baking sheet to avoid sogginess.
