Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving — don't flip early. Remove to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add potatoes to the same skillet, toss with salt and thyme. Cook 8-10 minutes until golden and tender, stirring halfway.

  5. Step 5

    Stir horseradish into butter. Swirl into the broth and add greens to the skillet. Wilt 60 seconds, then return steaks to warm.

  6. Step 6

    Plate steak, potatoes, and greens. Top steak with horseradish butter and serve immediately.
