Ingredients and Substitutes
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for potatoes and steak, what each ingredient does in a recipe, and substitution options.For measurements, see Recipe card below.
- Prime Sirloin Steak – If possible, choose steaks that are 1.5 inches thick, as they are less likely to be overcooked. Although you can use other cuts of meat (T-Bone, Porterhouse, new york striprib eye steak, Chuck Eye Steak, flank steaketc), their searing times will vary and you will need to use Probe Meat Thermometer to ensure completion.
- yellow onion – I chose these because they have a classic flavor when caramelized, but you can also use white or sweet onions if you prefer.
- Worcestershire sauce – Used to enhance the meaty taste of steak. Soy sauce or coconut aminos can be used as substitutes.
- olive oil – Used to create a golden crust on steaks. Feel free to substitute your favorite neutral cooking oil, such as avocado oil.
- dry red wine – Try Merlot, Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon.
- unsalted butter – I prefer grass-fed butter because it tastes great, but use your favorite unsalted variety.
- garlic – I recommend using fresh garlic cloves for this steak and potatoes recipe, but minced garlic in a jar will work too.
- Yukon Gold Mini Potatoes – Cut them into quarters. You can also use traditional Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, but they will need to be chopped into small pieces. Any other potatoes you like will work too.
- fresh thyme – Add depth and aroma to steak and hash browns. Other fresh herbs, like oregano or rosemary, also work well.
- sea salt and black pepper

for medium rare steakGrill steak on the stove 2-3 minutes per side First (until browned) then steak with potatoes 8-10 minutes at 375°F, or until the steak reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit. (Time range is for 1.5″ thick steak. For best results, use meat thermometer.)
You can also set the internal temperature to your desired doneness: 120 degrees (rare), 140 degrees (medium), 150 degrees (medium) or 160 degrees (done). (This is the desired internal temperature when the steak is removed from the oven; the temperature will rise another 5 degrees at rest.)

Storage Instructions
- Shop: Store leftover steak and potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Meal preparation: To caramelize the onions ahead of time, prepare the caramelized onion butter and store separately until the rest of the recipe is ready to cook. You can also dice the potatoes ahead of time and submerge them in water in the refrigerator (drain and pat dry before cooking).
- Reheat: Heat leftovers in the oven over low heat, or briefly on the stovetop. Microwaves are fine for potatoes, but can overcook and dry out the steak.
- freeze: You can freeze grilled steaks and potatoes for up to 3 months, but the texture of the potatoes may change.
