How to Make Grilled Steak & Crispy Roasted Potatoes
Roast the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
Grill the Steak
Pat the steaks dry and coat them with olive oil. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you like your steak more done. Let the steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve
Arrange the steak with the crispy roasted potatoes and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top. Add a little butter on the steak if you like an extra rich finish.
Tips for the Best Steak and Potatoes
- Let the steak sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.
- Dry potatoes well before roasting for better crispiness.
- Avoid flipping the steak too often.
- Always let the steak rest before slicing to keep the juices inside.
- Finish with flaky sea salt for extra flavor.
Serving Ideas
Pair this meal with grilled asparagus, roasted green beans, a fresh garden salad, or garlic butter mushrooms. A simple dinner roll also makes a great addition.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the potatoes in the oven or air fryer to bring back their crispy texture. Warm the steak gently to keep it tender.
