Notes
Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness (130°F for medium-rare). Let the steak rest after cooking to keep it juicy. Feel free to mix in vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers for added nutrition. If potatoes are browning too quickly, cover the dish with foil while baking. Adjust seasoning to your taste; garlic powder and paprika add nice flavors!
