Steak and Potatoes Skillet Meal Prep First off, grab your delicious steaks and give them a good rubdown with some oil, then season them generously with salt and pepper. Next, it’s potato time. In a large bowl, toss those cubed potatoes in a bit of oil and then sprinkle on some salt and pepper to taste. Now, whip up the Chipotle Steak Sauce by mixing together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Pop the sauce in the fridge until it’s serving time. Grilling Time Now, let’s get the grill going for our steak and potatoes meal. Preheat it for direct cooking over medium-high heat, aiming for around 375 degrees F. While that’s heating up, grab your trusty cast iron skillet and place it over the fire with a drizzle of canola oil. Let the large skillet heat up for about a minute until it’s nice and hot, then toss in your potatoes. Cook them for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure they cook evenly. Cooking Steak Once your potatoes start to soften and get those delicious crispy edges, move the skillet to the cooler side of the grill and add your steaks. Give them a good sear for roughly 4 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 120 degrees F. While the steaks are cooking, grab another skillet and melt some truffle butter (or any butter you prefer) to baste the steaks before each flip, giving them that gorgeous crust. Once your steaks are cooked to perfection, take them off the grill. Let the steak rest for about 7-8 minutes—a crucial step for ensuring juicy, tender meat. While they’re resting, add some rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper to your potatoes, cooking them for an additional 30 seconds before pulling them off the heat. Plating Now, it’s time to plate up your steak and potatoes masterpiece. Serve your steak whole or sliced, alongside those delicious potatoes, and don’t forget to drizzle on that Chipotle Steak Sauce for an extra flavor boost.
