1. To prepare the garlic butter steak recipe with potatoes wedges: In a large bowl, combine the steak strips with soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and hot sauce. Set aside and allow steak strips to marinate while you cook potatoes.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When butter is melted, add potatoes wedges. Cook for about 4 minutes, stir and cook an additional 4-5 minutes until potatoes wedges are golden and fork-tender. Transfer sauteed potatoes to a plate and set aside.
3. Keep the same skillet over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, red chili pepper flakes, and fresh herbs. Lay the steak strips in one layer in the skillet, keeping the drained steak marinade for later. Cook the steak strips on each side for 1 minute each, until nicely browned – adjust timing depending on how you like your steak.
4. Right before the Garlic Butter steak is done, you can stir in the reserved marinade if you like, and cook for one minute. Add the potatoes wedges back to the garlic butter steak pan and heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
5. Remove from heat and serve immediately your steak and potatoes, garnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh herbs, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese over the potatoes if you like. Enjoy!

Tips for the steak and potatoes recipe
- You can precook the potatoes wedges in boiling salted water for 8 minutes before browning them. This will accelerate the potatoes cooking time in the skillet and ensure a nice golden crust on the potatoes.
- To make the perfect steak recipe to accompany your potatoes, you can choose a good piece of meat that is more tender than flank steaks, such as ribeye steak, tenderloin, strip loin, or strip steak.
- Avoid crowding the pan with the beef strips, proceed in batches if necessary so you won’t have steamed steak instead!
What Should I Serve with Steak?
Well, this steak and potatoes recipe is a meal in itself, but feel free to add your own twist. Serve the steak with roasted asparagus for example. Roasted carrots would also make a nice addition. If you’re a garlic lover, roast a full head of garlic sliced horizontally and wrapped in foil for 20-30 minutes and serve it along with the steak and potatoes.
How long can I keep the steak leftovers?
Steak and potatoes leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but we bet you won’t have any and will end up with a clean plate!

Delicious, my family prefers a medium rare steak and I overcooked when cut in strips, so I marinated and cooked it whole, then heated the remaining marinade & tossed it before serving. Everyone enjoyed

This Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet recipe is so good! I used Coconut Secret The Original Organic Aminos Soy-Free Seasoning Sauce and Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce for a quality Asian flavor taste. I love it!

This was fantastic! Every cook is different so I did make some modifications. Precook the potatoes in the microwave or boil to give them a head start. After they’ve softened a little, cook in skilet as directed. I cooked my steak in ONLY the butter and olive oil,..then removed and added the herbs and garlic. After a minute, I added the potatoes and beef and tossed to coat. The steak was medium rare and potatoes cooked through. I Pinned this recipe a long time ago but am just now trying. Mad that I’ve waited so long! It was yummy!!

Made this tonight and it was really good! So much rich flavor! I did use low sodium soy sauce and unsalted butter to cut down on the sodium and salty taste. Worked like a charm!

So salty! But otherwise very good. I'd add a splash of red wine to the marinade, and use unsalted butter or low sodium soy... Or substitute olive oil for the butter.

I'm making this tonight. I have a couple of ribeye steaks I need to use. After reading the last two comments, I plan to smash the 5 cloves of garlic and put them in the microwave with EVOO and butter to get the flavor and fragrance without burning the garlic. This recipe looks great and the majority of reviewers were very happy with the results.

The garlic and fresh herbs ended up tasting little scorched, might try it again but add the garlic and herbs when I turn the meat over. Didn't add the potatoes with the steak and I also steam the potatoes for 8 mins for pan frying. Worth trying again

This really didn’t work for me. Cooking the meat in the garlic resulted in the garlic burning, no matter how much I tried to baby it and move it around. There was only about 2 tbsp of marinade left to add to the pan, so that was disappointing. The meat tasted okay but the burned garlic really ruined the entire dish. We wont make this one again.

Iam sure, being from a family that thrived on beef 5 times a week, this recipe was tried and eaten with gusto over steamed rice,fresh salad,tadka dal,tomato rasam/pepper pot soup. I love succulent pieces of beef steak when we pressure cook on high heat with the same ingredients except for fried potatoes wedges, cubes. Which are added last to the main course. I am sure that if you ask anyone trying to cook delicious meals with beef,pork,chicken,etc that the meat pieces must be browned properly to seal in the juices. This increases taste,nutrition value,etc. I have two sons and their girl friends who all enjoy beef when cooked as a starter or main course. I hope to copy this recipe soon. Also I hope sincerely you would kindly send /show recipes on my FB App for watching videos. Thanks 👍.
