SKILLET GARLIC BUTTER HERB STEAK AND POTATOES

I used to like my steak well done but now I like my steak more medium or medium well.  It just seems more tender and melt in your mouth this way.  So I cook the steak to about 145 degrees.  The best part about this steak is the garlic butter herb compound that you slather on the steak right at the end.  It just melts into the steak and gives it such incredible flavor.

This skillet steak is easily the best steak that I have had.  Cooked to tender and juicy perfection and the butter garlic herb flavor is unreal!  Your family will love this skillet meal.

You start by cooking the potatoes in a delicious garlic herb butter.  It really brings amazing flavor to these potatoes.  Garlic herb butter potatoes?  My heaven.

HOW TO COOK THE PERFECT SKILLET STEAK

• Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.  Season the steak generously on each side with salt and pepper.  In a cast-iron skillet with 1 Tablespoon of oil over high heat add the steaks to the pan and sear each side 3 minutes or until brown.
• Reduce heat to medium low.  Cook the steak to desired doneness.  Rare = 125 degrees, Medium Rare = 135 degrees, Medium = 145 degrees, Medium Well = 150 degrees and Well Done = 160 degrees.  Some say to flip only once while cooking, I like to flip mine a few times.
• Right before serving the steak slather the butter compound on top and let it melt into the tender steak.  This gives it a nice finishing touch and adds such great flavor.
