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:

  • Simmer and reduce by half (about 10 minutes).
  • Optional: Whisk in 1 tsp flour if you prefer a slightly thicker sauce.
  • Stir in butter until smooth and season to taste.

5. Assemble the Plate:
