### Instructions:
**1. Prepare the Potatoes:**
Start by washing and halving (or quartering) the baby potatoes. The smaller pieces will cook faster and become crispier, which is exactly what you want in this dish. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of rosemary and thyme. Toss them in a bit of olive oil to coat them evenly.
**2. Cook the Potatoes:**
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potatoes in a single layer, cut side down. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes until they’re golden brown on the bottom. Flip the potatoes and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they’re tender and crispy. Once done, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
**3. Cook the Steaks:**
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Season both sides of your steaks with salt, pepper, and the remaining thyme and rosemary. Add the steaks to the skillet and sear them for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and set aside to rest.
**4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:**
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic! Then, add the butter to the pan, stirring until it’s melted and the garlic becomes golden and aromatic. Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine, scraping up any bits of steak or potatoes left in the skillet for extra flavor. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
**5. Bring It All Together:**
Once the garlic butter sauce is ready, return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss them in the sauce, making sure they’re well coated. Slice the steaks into strips and lay them on top of the potatoes. Allow everything to cook together for another 2-3 minutes, just to warm the steak through and let the flavors meld.
**6. Serve:**
Once everything is cooked and combined, remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, savory goodness of this dish!
