Enhance Steak Flavor and Tenderness:
- Use a high-quality steak, such as ribeye or strip steak.
- Dry-brine the steak for several hours or overnight.
- Marinate the steak in a blend of herbs, spices, and citrus juice for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- Sear the steak over high heat to create a flavorful crust and lock in juices.
Perfect Smashed Potatoes:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture.
- Boil potatoes until just tender, then smash them with a fork or potato masher.
- Season potatoes with salt, pepper, and additional herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- Drizzle potatoes with olive oil and bake until golden brown and crispy.
Sauce Enhancements:
- Make a simple pan sauce by deglazing the pan with red wine or beef broth after cooking the steak.
- Add a compound butter to the steak before serving, made with flavors like roasted garlic, herbs, or truffle oil.
- Consider serving the steak with a creamy mushroom sauce or a classic béarnaise sauce.
Presentation Upgrades:
- Serve the steak and potatoes on a warm plate.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
- Add a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad to complete the plate.
Additional Tips:
- Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak, as this will prevent proper searing.
- Season potatoes liberally with salt, as this will enhance their flavor.
