Ingredients

Units Scale
For the beef steak:
  • 2 beef steaks (such as ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut), about 1 inch thick
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for grilling
For the green olive garlic sauce:
  • 1 cup green olives, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the potatoes:
  • 4-8 potatoes (depending on size), washed and scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes (30 minutes):
    Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes, depending on their size. Drain and while still warm, gently smash them with a fork, then toss with butter, salt, and a sprinkle of parsley. Set aside.
  2. Grill the Steaks (10 minutes):
    Preheat your grill to high heat. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper and brush them lightly with olive oil. Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, then slice them against the grain.
  3. Prepare the Green Olive Garlic Sauce (10 minutes):
    In a bowl, combine the chopped green olives, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Stir until well combined and season with salt and pepper to taste. The sauce should have a chunky consistency similar to chimichurri.
  4. Assemble the Dish (5 minutes):
    On each plate, lay a bed of the buttered potatoes. Place the sliced steak on top of the potatoes. Generously drizzle the green olive garlic sauce over the steak and potatoes.
  5. Serve (2 minutes):
    Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

This dish is best when you use high-quality ingredients. Feel free to cook the steak to your desired level of doneness and do be sure to let it rest for a few minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to re-distribute for the best flavor.
