Instructions 👩🍳
1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and olive oil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix well and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Roast the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the potato chunks with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic powder.
- Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden, crispy, and tender inside.
3. Cook the Steak:
- Preheat your grill or skillet to high heat.
- Pat the steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Add olive oil to the hot pan (if using a skillet).
- Cook the steaks for about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust based on your preference).
- In the last minute, add butter, garlic, and fresh herbs to the pan.
- Baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics for rich flavor.
- Remove from heat and let the steaks rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
4. Make the Demi-Glace Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, heat the beef stock over medium-high heat.
- Simmer and reduce by half (about 10 minutes).
