Cooking the Steak (8-10 minutes)
Final Assembly (2 minutes)
Ingredients:
For the Lemon Pepper Garlic Butter Steak:
1 pound (approximately 450g) steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Crispy Truffle Potatoes:
1 pound (approximately 450g) baby potatoes
2 tablespoons truffle oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions:
Prepare the Crispy Truffle Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato to slightly flatten them.
Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and drizzle with truffle oil. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the top. Toss gently to combine.
Prepare the Lemon Pepper Garlic Butter Steak:
While the potatoes are roasting, take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and cracked black pepper.
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the steak to the pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your desired level of doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the pan.
Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted garlic lemon butter.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve:
Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
Arrange the steak slices on a serving platter alongside the crispy truffle potatoes.
Drizzle any remaining garlic lemon butter from the pan over the steak for added flavor.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
Tips for the Best Lemon Pepper Garlic Butter Steak & Crispy Truffle Potatoes
For the Steak:
Use a well-marbled steak – Ribeye or sirloin works best for a juicy texture.
Pat the steak dry – Helps get a better sear.
Let the steak rest before slicing – Locks in juices for a tender bite.
For the Crispy Truffle Potatoes:
Smash gently – Don’t flatten too much, or they won’t be fluffy inside.
High heat = crispier potatoes – Roast at 425°F (220°C) for golden perfection.
Truffle oil goes last! – Heat destroys the delicate flavor, so add it after baking.
