A Steak Dinner is a classic choice for any occasion—whether it's a romantic dinner, a special celebration, or just a satisfying meal at home. This recipe combines a perfectly cooked steak with delicious sides, bringing the full steakhouse experience right to your table.
Ingredients
For the Steak:
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut, such as filet mignon, strip steak, or sirloin)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Side Dishes:
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)
For the Sauce (Optional):
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sides
-
Roasted Baby Potatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
-
Sautéed Green Beans:
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the green beans and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper. Optionally, sprinkle sliced almonds on top for added texture and flavor.
Step 2: Cook the Steak
-
Prepare the Steak:
- Let the steaks come to room temperature by resting them out of the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.
- Pat them dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Searing the Steak:
- Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time depending on your preferred level of doneness (add 1-2 minutes per side for medium).
- During the last minute of cooking, add the butter, garlic, and fresh rosemary or thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter and aromatics.
-
Resting the Steak:
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps redistribute the juices and keeps the steak tender.
Step 3: Optional Sauce
- Making the Sauce (Optional):
- After removing the steaks from the pan, pour in the red wine and balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the sauce over the steak just before serving.
Step 4: Assemble the Plate
- Serve each steak alongside a portion of roasted baby potatoes and sautéed green beans.
- Drizzle any leftover sauce over the steak for extra flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated cheese on the potatoes for an extra touch.
