Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Roast the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Spread them onto a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
2. Roast the Green Beans
During the last 8 minutes of roasting, toss the green beans with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add them to the baking sheet and roast until crisp-tender.
3. Season the Steaks
Pat the steaks completely dry using paper towels. Season both sides generously with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Sear the Steaks
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time to your preferred doneness. This method creates a flavorful crust that’s perfect for holiday entertaining and restaurant-quality dinners.
5. Baste with Garlic Butter
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. As the butter melts, continuously spoon the garlic butter over the steaks for 1–2 minutes to build incredible flavor.
6. Rest and Serve
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter over the steak and serve with the roasted potatoes and green beans. This complete meal is ideal for family gatherings, budget-friendly weeknight dinners, and even meal prep.

Pro Tips & Variations
Bring the steaks to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking to promote even cooking and a beautiful crust. Patting the steaks dry before seasoning is essential for achieving the perfect sear. Let the meat rest before slicing so the juices stay inside every bite.
For healthy substitutions, replace the potatoes with roasted sweet potatoes or cauliflower and use less butter if preferred. Looking for budget-friendly tips? Sirloin steak offers excellent flavor at a lower price than ribeye while still producing tender results when cooked properly.
This recipe is ideal for cooking for beginners because it uses straightforward techniques with impressive results. You can also roast carrots, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or broccoli instead of green beans. For meal prep ideas, prepare the roasted vegetables in advance and cook the steaks fresh before serving. It’s one of the best quick dinner ideas for both weeknights and special occasions.
