Steak And Potatoes
- 1 Ribeye OR Tenderloin
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 Potato
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive/vegetable oil
- Season the steak with salt and pepper, liberally on one side, and none on the other.
- The potatoes should be cut into small blocks.
- Warm up the pan with olive oil and a teaspoon of butter scooped off the stick.
- Apply the steak to the pan once the butter has melted into the oil.
- The side that has been seasoned should be seared first.
- Since we're aiming for a seared outside, and a tender inside, flip your steak after the first side has turned golden brown.
- Repeat the searing for the non-seasoned side - some salt and pepper would remain on the pan, thus providing seasoning.
- At this point, both sides are seared.
- Keep cooking each side, flipping every thirty or so seconds to prevent overcooking, until you hit medium rare.
- At this point, set the steak on your plate to marinate itself in its juices.
- This is crucial: if you like your steak well done, there will be a chance to do it later.
- Simmer the potatoes on the pan on low burner.
- This will take 5-8 minutes, since we're starting the potatoes raw.
- Once the potatoes are done (they will take on a lightly translucent quality), turn off the heat, and bring the steak in to heat up the juices and simmer a bit.
- For those who want a well done steak, just don't turn off the heat.
- Let steak sit for a minute or two and serve.
