Rib-Eye Steak and Potatoes for Two

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large boneless rib-eye steak, cut 2 inches thick
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced, plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 rosemary sprig, roughly chopped
  • 1-pound very small potatoes, rinsed
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped 
  • Zest of 1 small lemon, finely grated 
  • Arugula or watercress, for serving, optional

Instructions
 

  • Season steak generously with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle with sliced garlic and rosemary; set aside to marinate; 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Pre-heat oven to 450°F.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil.
  • Add potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until just done, 10 to 15 minutes; drain and keep warm.
  • Heat a cast-iron, or other heavy skillet, over high heat.
  • Remove and discard sliced garlic from steak; if left on, it will burn in the skillet.
  • When pan is hot, put in the steak and let brown well on one side; 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Wait until steak forms a crust and comes away cleanly from the bottom to move it.
  • Flip steak and transfer pan to oven, uncovered.
  • Roast until juices begin to rise on surface of steak, you will see the droplets, and internal temperature is 120°F; 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove steak from pan and let rest, tented with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes; residual heat will continue to cook the meat to medium-rare as it rests.
  • Warm a serving bowl for the potatoes and plates for the steak.
  • Melt butter in a wide skillet, over medium-high heat.
  • Add potatoes and toss to coat and heat through.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Add minced garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 minute or less.
  • Gently stir in parsley and lemon zest and transfer to serving bowl.
  • Cutting on a slight diagonal, slice steak into 1/2-inch slices, then transfer to plates.
  • If using, place a handful of greens next to the steak. 
  • Serve immediately with potatoes.
