Marinated Steaks
Juicy marinated steaks paired with thinly sliced potatoes and vegetables, perfect for a flavorful, easy-to-prepare meal ideal for casual dinners and gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine chopped steak, Zesty Italian dressing, chopped onion, and chopped green pepper in a large Ziploc bag and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the contents from the bag and broil until the steak and vegetables are tender.
- Slice potatoes very thin and cook or broil until crispy or tender as desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or herbs like rosemary to the marinade. If you don't have Zesty Italian dressing, a mix of olive oil, vinegar, and Italian seasonings can work as a substitute. Ensure the steak is well-coated for maximum flavor absorption. Avoid overcooking the steak to keep it tender, much like in recipes like Deviled Baked Steak.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the marinated steak alongside the crispy potatoes for a satisfying meal. A fresh salad or steamed vegetables can add a nice contrast to the rich flavors. This dish pairs beautifully with the comforting elements found in Oven Dinner and can be accompanied by a robust red wine for an elevated experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover marinated steak and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals. For crispy potatoes, reheat in an oven or toaster oven to restore their crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I marinate the steak?
For best results, marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly, making it more tender and flavorful. If you're short on time, even a couple of hours can make a difference.
Can I use a different type of steak?
Yes, you can use other cuts like flank steak or sirloin if you prefer. Just be mindful of cooking times, as different cuts may require different cooking methods to achieve the desired tenderness. Always slice against the grain for the best texture.
What can I serve with marinated steaks?
In addition to the thinly sliced potatoes, consider serving grilled vegetables or a refreshing coleslaw. A side of garlic bread can also complement the meal nicely. For a complete experience, check out other American recipes that pair well with steak.
