- 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.

- 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:

- Divide the crispy garlic rosemary potatoes onto four plates.
- Place the beef fillets alongside the potatoes.

Porterhouse steak with crispy garlic potatoes FAQ:

What is the best cooking time for medium-rare Porterhouse steak?

For medium-rare, cook the Porterhouse steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Adjust the time based on the thickness of the fillet and your desired doneness.

Can I use a different type of potato for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute other types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but cooking times may vary slightly based on their size and type.

How should I store leftover Porterhouse steak and potatoes?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on a skillet to retain the steak’s flavor and texture.

What are some good substitutes for the fresh herbs in the butter?

If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried versions in smaller quantities. For example, 1 tsp of dried parsley or chives can replace the fresh herbs.

How do I achieve crispy potatoes when baking?

Ensure the potatoes are cut into even-sized pieces, spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet, and toss them well with olive oil. Flipping them halfway through helps achieve maximum crispiness.

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.
