Pan-Seared Steak with Buttery Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

– 1 ribeye or NY strip steak (8–10 oz)
– Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tbsp butter
– 1 clove garlic, smashed
– Fresh chopped parsley
– 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 2 tbsp butter
– 1/4 cup milk or cream
– Salt & pepper to taste
– Optional: extra butter for serving

Directions:

1. Boil the Potatoes: Place potato cubes in salted boiling water. Cook until fork-tender (10–12 minutes). Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
2. Season the Steak: Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Sear the Steak: In a hot skillet, heat olive oil. Add steak and sear 3–4 minutes per side. In the last minute, add butter, garlic, and baste the steak.
4. Rest & Slice: Let the steak rest 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
