"Slim" Meat and Potatoes

If you like meat and potatoes, but fear cooking a steak (as do I), this recipe is perfect for you.

The meat takes all of 5-7 minutes to cook, and the potatoes go in the oven for 35. You can't beat the simplicity of this.

For the Potatoes
---Pre-heat the oven at 450 degrees---

*Cut some petite red potatoes in 4.

*In an oven safe pot, place the potatoes, 2 table spoons of olive oil, a palm-full of parsley and rosemary, as well as 2 table spoons of your favorite Balsamic Vinegar, my favorite is this one, found at Publix.

*Mix well, make sure all of the potatoes have been coated.

*Place these in the oven for 35 minutes.

The Skinny Steaks
--Make sure you find the perfect cut of meat for you, I like thin Flank Steaks.--

*Cut the steaks in two, they're pretty long and come in packs of 2

*Season them with salt, pepper, oregano, granulated garlic and onion, and thyme.

*Place them in a large flat skillet with a light sprinkle of olive oil.

*Make sure each side cooks by flipping them. (Typically it's 2-3 mins on each side)

*Once the potatoes are fully cooked (they will take the full 35 mins), remove them from the oven, give them a quick toss, and plate!

You're done! It really is simple and the best part about this easy dish is the fact that you can make it for 2 or 10 people...just increase the amount of steaks and potatoes. It still stays very easy to make with little effort at all on your part.

As an "extra", I like to take a small pan and cook some Boretanna Onions until they're golden. I love these because they're sweet and very tender. Top the steaks off with this delicious addition, it looks good and tastes good too!
