Skillet Beef and Potatoes

Wednesday, June 3, 2009

This is an easy, but incredible, dish that goes together in 30 minutes. Microwaving the potatoes before stir-frying them cuts down on your cooking time so you get dinner on the table faster. The beef has great seasoning and no one would guess it's plain old pepper creating such a savory flavor. If you have ever tasted oven-baked potatoes seasoned with rosemary and olive oil; this dish takes that idea and turns it into a meal by adding steak strips. Serve with green beans and French rolls for a hearty dinner.
Servings: 4 servings (If you have big eaters, add 2 more potatoes for a cheap solution to stretch your meal)
Start-to-Finish: 30 minutes
