Ingredients:
(Makes 4 servings)
- 2 ribeye steaks (or any cut of steak you prefer, like sirloin or flank steak)
- 1 lb baby potatoes (or russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling, optional)

Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes and Steak
Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat (or your oven to 400°F / 200°C). Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut them into quarters or smaller chunks if they are on the larger side. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil (if using). Toss them to ensure they’re evenly coated.
