INGREDIENTS

For the Steak:
1 (1-inch thick) boneless, skinless beef steak (ribeye or New York strip)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped herbs (like parsley or chives)
For the Roasted Potatoes:
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Creamy Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

PREPARATION STEPS

Prepare the Roasted Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Cook the Steak:
While the potatoes are roasting, season the steak with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the steak. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, add butter and chopped herbs to the skillet, basting the steak with the melted butter. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Make the Creamy Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped parsley, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Bowl:
In a bowl, layer the roasted potatoes and sliced steak. Drizzle with the creamy sauce and garnish with additional herbs if desired.
