Ingredients

For the Striploin:

  • striploin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt & black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
  • 1 tbsp butter (for basting)

For the Herby Potatoes:

  • 3−4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

For the Corn:

  • 2 ears of corn (or 121​ cups corn kernels)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: sprinkle of chili flakes or smoked paprika

Swaps and Notes

  • Steak: Striploin steak is a great choice for this recipe due to its marbling and flavor. You can also use other cuts like a ribeye or a sirloin. The key is to choose a steak that is about 1 inch thick for a good sear and even cooking.
  • Potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are great choices for roasting. They get wonderfully crispy on the outside while staying fluffy on the inside. You can also use sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor profile.
  • Herbs: Fresh thyme or rosemary adds a wonderful, fragrant flavor to the steak. The dried herbs on the potatoes give them an earthy, savory taste. You can also use other herbs like sage or oregano.
  • Corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best, but you can also use frozen corn kernels for convenience. The chili flakes or smoked paprika add a little kick and a smoky flavor that is a great complement to the buttery corn.
  • Basting: Basting the steak with butter, garlic, and herbs is a crucial step. It adds an incredible amount of flavor and ensures the steak is juicy and tender.

Instructions

  1. Make the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, dried herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 30−35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
  2. Cook the Corn: While the potatoes are roasting, cook the corn. You can either boil it, grill it, or sauté it. Cook for about 5−7 minutes until it is tender. Toss the corn with butter and season with salt. Add chili flakes or paprika for an extra kick.
  3. Cook the Steak: Pat the striploin steaks dry with a paper towel. Season them generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steaks and sear for 2−3minutes per side.
  4. Baste the Steak: Reduce the heat to low. Add the butter, smashed garlic, and fresh herbs to the pan. Tilt the skillet and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter for 1−2 minutes. Cook the steak to your preferred doneness, using a meat thermometer to check. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be about 130°F(54°C).
  5. Rest the Steak: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5−10 minutes before slicing. This is a crucial step that allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy steak.
  6. Assemble the Plate: Slice the steak against the grain, and plate it with the crispy herby potatoes and buttery corn. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme.

Tips for Success

  • Pat the Steak Dry: Moisture is the enemy of a good sear. Patting the steak dry before seasoning ensures you get a beautiful, browned crust.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: The best way to know if your steak is cooked to your preferred doneness is to use a meat thermometer.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: When roasting the potatoes, make sure they are in a single layer. If the pan is too crowded, they will steam instead of roast, and you’ll miss out on those delicious crispy edges.
  • Rest the Steak: Don’t skip the resting step! This is essential for a juicy, tender steak. Resting allows the juices to flow back into the meat, instead of running out all over the plate.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

This meal is a complete, balanced plate on its own. For a drink pairing, a full-bodied red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot would be a perfect complement to the rich, savory flavors of the steak.


Nutritional Information

Storage and Leftover Tips

Leftovers of this dish are wonderful! Store any remaining portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, the best method is to use a toaster oven or air fryer to bring back some of the crispy texture of the potatoes. You can also reheat the steak in a skillet over low heat until it’s hot again.
