Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips
Store your leftover steak and potatoes skillet in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

You can easily incorporate more veggies into this dish. Bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions would be excellent additions. Simply toss them into the skillet with the potatoes.
Serving Suggestions
Steak and potatoes is a hearty one which means it’s filling all on its own. However, we like to add a green on the side whether that be a fresh dinner salad, roasted green beans, Brussels sprouts, or roasted asparagus.
It’s also insanely good drizzled with chimichurri. Enjoy!
