Down Home Steak ’n’ Potatoes
Elevated Dinners, Impressively Easy
- Milk
- Eggs
Remember speed dial? Speed dating? Speed skating? Well get ready for speed dinner—from box to plate in 15 minutes (or less!), and it’s no slouch. Lean, old-school, beefy steak is quick seared, then finished with garlic-herb butter and drizzled with a mustard cream sauce. It’s served with a fresh mixed green salad and a side of buttery potatoes that you’ll steam, then pan sear for a crispy, golden finish. A real homey, robust, and fuss-free meal idea for any weeknight.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Cut tomato into wedges. • Place potatoes and half the garlic herb butter in a microwave-safe bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave until almost tender, 4 minutes. Keep covered.
• Pat steak* dry and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle oil in a hot pan. Cook steak to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. • Add remaining garlic herb butter to pan and spoon over steak. Transfer steak to a cutting board; reserve butter in pan. • Carefully remove plastic wrap from potatoes; transfer potatoes and any remaining butter from bowl to same pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fork-tender, about 2 minutes.
• In a second microwave-safe bowl, mix half the cream sauce (all for 4), half the mustard (all for 4), and a big pinch of pepper. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave 40 seconds. • In a third bowl, toss mixed greens, tomato, carrots, vinaigrette, and a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4); season with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice steak against the grain. • Drizzle steak and potatoes with creamy mustard sauce. Serve with salad.
Steak is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was extremely easy and delicious. I was totally surprised. The steak was very tender and tasty. I'm not a big steak person and I totally enjoyed it.
Not your typical steak and potato meal. This is seasoned to perfection and so much flavor in every bite.
Very quick and easy to make. The sauce was interesting; I liked it on my potatoes more than the steak.
The potato seasoning was pleasant and tasty. The steak quality was nice that it had all fat trimmed away. The sour cream sauce over the meat was also a good idea.
Really good meal. First time to cook the home fresh steaks so I was a little worried about the tenderness but it was perfect.
The steak was very tender like filet mignon and absolutely delicious. It was a great complete meal with steak, potatoes, and salad.
Good old steak and potatoes with a pretty fantastic sauce to boot. Throw in some greens to make the doctor happy and you've got a classic.
Definitely not ordinary meat and potatoes meal. Satisfyingly basic and worth repurchasing.
This meal was missing the target in a few areas. The potatoes were much easier to fry up in a pan and add some garlic butter to finish and added a nice crunch. The steaks were a great quality but the sauce was bland. I added more seasoning to the meat and the sauce wasn't needed. The salad dressing wasn't liked by anyone and contained way too many carrots and a bland tomato.
Quick n easy. Sometimes the steaks are unequal proportions we cut it all up then split it. It's a good one when I'm in a hurry and want a good quality dinner.
