Steak And Potato Boat Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Put the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave, turning the potatoes halfway through, until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, thyme, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons water.
• Slice the potatoes and tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Gently toss together in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place in overlapping layers on top of the onion (it doesn't have to be neat). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft and the tomatoes are wrinkled and dry, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest, 5 minutes.
• Finely chop the olives and parsley; toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the vinegar, orange zest and a pinch of salt. Slice the steak against the grain and divide among plates; top with the olive-parsley relish and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Steps:

• 1. Cut steak into bite size pieces. Slice onion, place both in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and season with spices.
• 2. Place in hot skillet and cook for about 10-15 min. Steak should make it's own broth, if not add about 1/2 c. of water. Once done, mix together 1 c. of COLD water and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix well to remove lumps. Add to skillet and stir till thickened.
• 3. Serve over buttered baked potato.

Steps:

• Whisk first 4 ingredients until well blended. Pour 1/4 cup over steak in shallow dish; turn to coat both sides of steak. Refrigerate 20 min. to marinate, turning occasionally.
• Meanwhile, heat grill to medium-high heat. Prick potatoes in several places with fork or sharp knife; microwave on HIGH 4 min. Let stand 2 min.; cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place in medium bowl. Add remaining dressing mixture; toss to coat. Place on center of large sheet heavy-duty foil. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
• Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill steak and foil packet 10 min. or until potatoes are tender and steak is medium doneness (160ºF), turning steak after 5 min. Remove both from grill. Cover steak; let stand 5 min. Meanwhile, cook beans.
• Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Serve with potatoes and beans.
