Peel the potatoes and chop them into bite-sized cubes.
Finely mince the garlic, and thinly slice the shallots.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and sautΓ© them until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the garlic, shallots, and thyme sprigs to the skillet with the potatoes. SautΓ© until the garlic is fragrant and the shallots are translucent, about 2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Let the mixture simmer uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and discard the thyme sprigs.
While the potato ragout is cooking, season both sides of the minute steaks with the remaining salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a second skillet over high heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, sear the steaks for 1-2 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness.
Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the steaks alongside the creamy potato ragout, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy!
