Porterhouse steak with crispy garlic potatoes is a classic and savory dish that combines the tender, juicy flavors of a well-cooked steak with the aromatic and crispy perfection of roasted potatoes. This recipe is perfect for a hearty dinner and is sure to impress with its delicious combination of herbs, butter, and garlic.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Herb Butter:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, fresh parsley, chives, dried oregano, rosemary, minced garlic, and mustard.
- Mix well until all the herbs and garlic are evenly incorporated.
- Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
3. Cook the Steak:
- While the potatoes are baking, take the beef fillets out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly grease with a small amount of olive oil or butter.
- Season the beef fillets generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the fillets into the hot pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, add a dollop of the herb butter to each fillet and let it melt, basting the steak with the melted butter.
4. Serve:
- Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
- Divide the crispy garlic rosemary potatoes onto four plates.
- Place the beef fillets alongside the potatoes.
- Add an additional dollop of herb butter on top of each steak if desired. This will melt and create a delicious finishing sauce.
5. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Porterhouse steak with crispy garlic rosemary potatoes!
Tips:
- Ensure your steaks are at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
- For extra crispy potatoes, make sure they are well drained and patted dry before roasting.
- Do not overcrowd the potatoes on the baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly and become crisp.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak to achieve your desired doneness (medium-rare: 130-135°F/55-57°C, medium: 140-145°F/60-63°C).
- Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
- Feel free to adjust the herbs and garlic to suit your taste preferences.
