Notes
FOR THE POTATOESPotatoes take longer to cook than steak. For that reason, I have a couple of suggestions:
Precook or parboil the potatoes. To parboil small potatoes, you'll need to place the potatoes in a pot with cold water and bring to a boil. Turn down heat to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool for a minute or two, then cut and continue with the recipe.
OR, don’t precook the potatoes, but cut them up to about 1-inch cubes. Also try using mini Yukon gold potatoes because they work best with the cooking time.
FOR THE STEAK
For a rare or medium-rare steak, I suggest cutting the steak into larger pieces because, as stated before, the potatoes need more time to cook. If you like a well done steak, cut the steak into 1-inch pieces.
