Equipment

  • knife and cutting board
  • large skillet

Ingredients

For the Steak:

  • 1 pound ribeye or New York strip steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons green onions sliced
  • 2 tablespoons pimentos drained
  • 1½ teaspoons Kinders Butter Steak Seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

For the Potatoes:

  • 1 large russet or gold potato cubed (skin-on or peeled)
  • Reserved butter and pan drippings

Instructions

  • Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, Kinders seasoning, and garlic powder.
  • Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes while you cube your potato.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare, adjust based on thickness).
  • Add the butter, garlic, green onions, and pimentos to the pan.
  • Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter mixture over the steak for another 1–2 minutes until deeply golden and flavorful.
  • Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a plate. Don’t wipe out the pan — this is where the flavor lives!
  • Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet with the remaining butter and drippings.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 12–15 minutes, or until golden and fork-tender.
  • Season with a little more Kinders, salt, and parsley, if needed.
  • Slice the rested steak against the grain.
  • Return the slices to the pan, nestling them into the potatoes.
  • Spoon any remaining butter over the top, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • No Kinders? Use a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried parsley.
  • Spicy? Add red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the butter.
  • Cheesy option: Top potatoes with shredded sharp cheddar before returning the steak to the pan.
