Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet is the kind of hearty, satisfying meal that checks every box for flavor, comfort, and simplicity. Tender, juicy bites of steak are seared to perfection and tossed with golden, crispy potatoes all coated in a rich garlic butter sauce that’s packed with flavor. This one-pan recipe brings steakhouse vibes to your kitchen without the need for reservations or complicated prep. It’s fast enough for a weeknight dinner and impressive enough for date night or company. The combination of savory steak, buttery garlic, and crisp potatoes is timeless and crowd-pleasing, making it a meal you’ll come back to again and again.
Everything comes together in a single skillet, which means fewer dishes and more flavor. The potatoes are cooked until perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the steak is quickly seared for a beautiful crust and a tender, juicy center. The garlic butter, finished with fresh herbs, brings it all together in the most delicious way. It’s a simple meal that delivers big taste with minimal effort.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use a skillet over medium heat to maintain the crispness of the potatoes, or microwave in short intervals. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but it still tastes great the next day.
This recipe serves about 3 to 4 people, depending on portion sizes. It’s a complete meal in one pan, but you can always serve it with a simple green salad or steamed veggies on the side for a well-rounded dinner.
You’ll love this recipe because it delivers steakhouse-quality flavor in a fraction of the time and cost. It’s incredibly satisfying and comes together in one pan, making cleanup a breeze. The garlic butter sauce is rich and comforting, and it elevates every bite of steak and potato.
You’ll need a large heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal), tongs or a spatula, a sharp knife and cutting board, and measuring spoons.
