On busy evenings, one pan dishes make both cooking & clean-up faster and more efficient, giving us more time to relax in the evenings. That’s a definite plus at this time of year, when the days are beginning to get longer and evenings are wonderfully comfortable for leisurely walks or lounging on the deck.
Today’s one pan dish is a delicious beef entree of steak and potatoes. The butter in this recipe helps the steak develop a rich, caramelized crust. The butter also speeds up the cooking process, and adds a deep, savory flavor to the meat. The garlic, rosemary, oregano, and seasonings add depth to both the potatoes and the steak. Rosemary has assertive woodsy notes, and oregano brings pungent and slightly bitter peppery touches. When all the elements are combined, this dinner is savory with earthy warmth and flavor!
