Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 4 large potatoes (thinly sliced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for finishing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Ensure your oven rack is positioned in the middle for even cooking.
- Wash and thinly slice potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife, aiming for consistent 1/8-inch thick rounds. Pat potato slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Prepare a muffin tin by generously brushing each cavity with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote crispy edges.
- Layer potato slices in each muffin cup, alternating with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Press layers gently to create compact stacks.
- Drizzle olive oil over potato stacks and sprinkle additional seasoning. Cover muffin tin with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and continue baking for additional 10-15 minutes until potato edges are golden and crispy.
- While potatoes are cooking, season ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Let steaks rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add a touch of olive oil and sear steaks 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
- Let steaks rest for 5-7 minutes after cooking. Add a pat of butter on top during resting to enhance flavor.
- Plate potato stacks alongside sliced ribeye, garnish with extra fresh rosemary, and serve immediately.
Tips
- Potato Perfection: Use a mandoline slicer for uniform, thin potato rounds to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Moisture Management: Always pat potato slices dry to prevent sogginess and achieve those irresistible golden, crisp edges.
- Steak Temperature Matters: Let steaks rest at room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and a more tender result.
- Cast-Iron Magic: A cast-iron skillet provides the best sear and heat retention for a perfect steak crust.
- Resting is Crucial: Always let your steak rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy, flavorful cut.
- Seasoning Layers: Don't be shy with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper—these are the flavor heroes of your dish.
- Oil Temperature: When searing steak, ensure your skillet is hot enough to create a beautiful caramelized exterior without overcooking.
