Why This Recipe Works

We wanted the steak and potatoes in our Grilled Steak and Potatoes with Garlic Butter recipe to finish cooking at the same time, so we gave our small red potatoes a head start in the microwave. After that, they could be cooked alongside the steak and finish at the same time. We also lent the steak in our Grilled Steak and Potatoes with Garlic Butter recipe quick and easy flavor with a garlic and parsley compound butter.

Before You Begin

To speed things up, grill the steaks and potatoes at the same time—place the steak on one side of the grill and the potatoes on the other side.

Instructions

Toss potatoes and oil in medium microwave-safe bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until slightly softened, about 4 minutes, tossing potatoes halfway through cooking.

Beat butter with fork in medium bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Grill steaks over hot fire until well browned on both sides and internal temperature reaches 125 degrees (medium-rare), 5 to 6 minutes per side. Grill potatoes, starting cut side down and turning several times, until soft and grill-marked, 7 to 8 minutes.

Transfer steaks to serving platter and top each steak with 1 tablespoon parsley butter. Cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes. Toss potatoes with remaining tablespoon parsley butter in serving bowl. Serve steaks with potatoes.
