🥩 Steak & Home Fries with Onions – The Classic Comfort Combo

For the Home Fries:

• 3–4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional: smoked paprika or Cajun spice for kick

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

1. Boil diced potatoes in salted water for 5–6 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sear the Steak

1. Pat steaks dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional seasonings.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side (for medium doneness).
3. Remove from pan, cover with foil, and let rest.

Step 3: Make the Home Fries

1. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Sauté onions until soft and golden.
2. Add boiled potatoes. Spread evenly in pan and let them crisp up without stirring for 4–5 minutes.
3. Flip and cook other side until browned and crispy. Season to taste.

Step 4: Serve

1. Slice steak and plate with a generous scoop of crispy home fries and onions.
2. Serve with a fried egg or hot sauce if desired.

💡 Tips for Success

• Use cast iron for best crust and heat retention.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan—give potatoes room to crisp.
• Let steak rest 5–10 minutes before slicing to lock in juices.

🍷 What to Serve With It

• Fried or poached eggs
• Simple green salad
• A glass of red wine or iced tea

📦 Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat potatoes in a skillet and steak gently in foil or microwave.
