Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon duck fat or butter
- 500 grams fingerling potatoes, sliced in half
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano, chopped
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks, cut 5 centimetres thick

- 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped

Directions
- In a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat, add duck fat, potatoes, garlic, thyme, rosemary and oregano. Cook for about five minutes, stir and cook and additional three minutes or until fork tender. Remove and set on a plate.
- Heat the skillet to high heat. Add the steaks. Cook on all sides for three minutes until a nice crust is formed.
