🔥 Instructions:

🥔 Step 1: Make the Crispy Smashed Potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

4. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
5. Roast for 20–25 minutes until crispy and golden.

🥩 Step 2: Cook the Steak

2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron pan over high heat until just smoking.
3. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
4. During the final minute, reduce heat to medium-low and add butter, garlic, and rosemary.
5. Tilt the pan and spoon butter over the steak repeatedly to baste it.
6. Rest steak 5 minutes before slicing.

🍽️ Step 3: Plate & Serve

1. Arrange crispy smashed potatoes beside sliced steak.
2. Spoon extra rosemary butter on top.
3. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
