Elaboració
Pas a pas
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Ensuring the oven is fully preheated helps the potatoes cook evenly and become crispy.
- 2
On a baking sheet, toss the halved potatoes with the olive oil, smashed garlic, and bay leaf designated for the potatoes. Season with the potato salt and pepper.
Uns 3 min
- 3
Spread the potatoes in a single layer and roast for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Uns 30 min
Nota de cuina: Flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking will help them brown evenly on all sides.
- 4
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the steak. Pat it completely dry with paper towels.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: A dry surface is essential for creating a perfect, deep-brown crust on the steak.
- 5
Season the steak generously on all sides with the coarse sea salt and black pepper designated for the steak.
Uns 1 min
- 6
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, preferably cast iron, over high heat for several minutes until it is very hot.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: A smoking-hot pan is key to getting a great sear without overcooking the steak's interior.
- 7
Add the olive oil for the steak to the pan, then carefully place the steak in the center of the skillet.
Uns 1 min
- 8
Sear for 4-6 minutes on the first side without moving it. Once a deep brown crust has formed, flip the steak.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Avoid the temptation to move the steak around; letting it sit creates the best crust.
- 9
Add the smashed garlic for the steak to the side of the pan. Cook for another 4-6 minutes for medium-rare, tilting the pan and spooning the garlic-infused oil over the steak as it cooks.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Basting adds flavor and helps cook the steak evenly. Adjust time based on your preferred doneness.
- 10
Remove the steak from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Uns 10 min
Nota de cuina: Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- 11
Serve the steak, either whole or sliced against the grain, alongside the roasted potatoes. Drizzle with the flavorful oil from the pan and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
