I have to start this post by saying Mr. Schwartz and I were very hesitant to marinate our steaks. We are more of a salt and pepper and that's it kinda of steak eaters. But, this marinade knocked our socks off. The steaks were super juicy and the flavor was fantastic.
Does anything go better with steaks than potatoes? No, I don't think so. This is my go-to roasted potato recipe. It is easy, I always have the ingredients on hand and they make great leftovers for breakfast hash.
Here it is, the perfect grilling duo.
The cast. I forgot the dijon mustard. That is why I don't take these pictures, I always forget something.Start by combining the oil
Worcestershire sauce
Soy sauce
There's that mustard
Honey
Tons of garlic. Does anyone else have a garlic zoom? I love this thing when I am making things that need lots of garlic and it doesn't matter if it has an even chop.
A few shakes of red pepper flakes and that is all.
Stir it up
Place the steaks in a large zip top bag
Pour the marinade over the steaks
And try to get all of the air out of the bag, zip the top and place in the fridge until you are ready to grill. I would suggest letting it marinade for at least an hour.
Now on to the potatoes. Quarter the red potatoes (after you scrub them of course)
Chop up more garlic. Why didn't I use the zoom…
Add the garlic to the potatoes.
Then do something naughty. If you have a little jar in your fridge with bacon fat, add it to some melted butter. If you don't have it--no biggie but this adds some awesome flavor.
Add the melted bacon butter to the potatoes
Chop up some parsley
Add it to the bowl
Crack a good amount of black pepper over the potatoes
And a big pinch of salt
Pour the potatoes out onto a large baking sheet in a single layer
Into the oven they go.
Grill the steaks to your desired doneness
Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, take them out, flip them around and back into the oven they go for another 15 minutes.
Once the steaks are done, let them rest for at least 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
Delish.
Perfectly roasted garlic potatoes.
Looks fancy.
Yum.
Juicy.
Steak Marinade:
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons dijion mustard
4 cloves garlic
1/8 teaspoon red chili flakes
Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
Place your steaks in a large zip top bag and pour the marinade over the steaks. Seal the bag and try to get as much of the air out as possible.
Put the bag into the fridge in a bowl or on a large plate. Let marinade for at least 1 hour.
Grill steaks on medium high heat to your desired doneness.
