Ingredients
Instructions

- Remove the potatoes from the butter and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the cut-up steak in the remaining butter until fully covered.

Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use a high-quality steak, such as ribeye or sirloin. If you don't have baked potatoes, you can use raw potatoes; just adjust the cooking time. Consider adding garlic or herbs to the butter for extra flavor. If you're aiming for a crispy texture, broil the steak and potatoes for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak and potatoes with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of green onions can enhance the flavor of the potatoes. This dish pairs beautifully with the hearty flavors of American recipes like Soupy Chili or Mushroom Pot Roast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak and potatoes in an oven preheated to 350°F until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. You can also microwave them, but this may result in a less crispy texture.
