- Process all ingredients in food processor until well combined, about 20 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Transfer sauce to bowl and set aside.
- Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper in bowl. Cover and microwave until potatoes begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring potatoes halfway through microwaving. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, pat steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Lay steaks in skillet and cook until well browned on first side, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip steaks, reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook until meat registers 120 to 125 degrees (for medium-rare), 1 to 4 minutes; transfer to plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to fat left in skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add drained potatoes and cook until golden brown and tender on all sides, about 10 minutes. Serve steaks with potatoes and sauce.

Why This Recipe Works
Cooking everything in a single skillet cut down on cleanup, and the rendered fat from the steak lent the potatoes a rich, meaty flavor. But the potatoes took nearly 40 minutes to cook through on the stovetop—not the simple weeknight meal we had in mind. To speed up the process, we jump-started the potatoes in the microwave, then added them to the skillet for just 10 minutes to develop a crisp, golden-brown crust. A quick parsley sauce seasoned with garlic, vinegar, a dash of red pepper, and a little chopped red onion contributed vibrant flavor to our hearty meal.
