Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Ribeye Steak: Opt for a well-marbled ribeye for maximum tenderness and flavor that melts in your mouth.
- Baby Potatoes: Choose small red or yellow potatoes; their creamy texture pairs perfectly with the savory steak.
- Fresh Garlic: Use whole cloves for the best flavor; roasting enhances its sweetness and aroma.
- Butter: Go for unsalted butter to control seasoning; it adds richness without overwhelming the dish.
- Fresh Rosemary: This herb elevates the dish’s flavor profile; chop finely before adding to unleash its fragrance.

Let’s Make It Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on your kitchen counter. Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and slice them in half if they are larger than bite-sized pieces. Set aside so they are ready when you are.
Season the Steak: Generously season both sides of the ribeye steak with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Potatoes First: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss baby potatoes in olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Sear the Steak: In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil until shimmering but not smoking. Sear the ribeye for 4-5 minutes per side until it’s beautifully browned.
Add Garlic Butter Bliss: Lower heat after flipping the steak; add butter and minced garlic into the pan. As it melts, spoon it over the steak continually for about 2-3 minutes until cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve It Up: Once everything is cooked perfectly, plate your juicy garlic butter steak alongside those crispy roasted potatoes. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over both before serving for maximum flavor.
Enjoy every bite of this heavenly meal that embodies comfort food at its finest!
