T-Bone Steak with Cheesy Seasoned Potatoes

When you think “Food on a Dime”, you don’t think about T-bone steak. But when I tell you the deal I got at Weis on this steak, you’ll want to shop there more often. I got this steak for $6.03. Now tell me that isn’t a great deal. This steak was an absolute treat. I cooked it medium rare, which made it extremely tender. Steak might be the highlight of this meal, but you can’t forget about the potatoes. They were soft, full of flavor and topped with Kraft shredded mozzarella cheese. I know you’re probably wondering where the vegetables are. I knew all of this would fill the plate and my belly, so I skipped the vegetables this meal. Feel free to add a side salad to this dish. If you live in an apartment and don’t have a grill, do like I did and visit a friend with a grill.

What you will need:

1 T-Bone Steak

4 Potatoes

2 Cups of Shredded Cheese

1 Pack of Hidden Valley Dry Ranch

1 Pack of Good Seasons Italian Seasoning

2 Tbsp. Garlic Powder

2 Tbsp. Onion Powder

Olive Oil

¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese

Salt

Pepper

Instructions:

Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, you’re going to want to wash four potatoes. Cut each potato into wedges. Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the packs of Italian seasoning and ranch. Then add garlic powder, onion powder, and parmesan cheese. After that add enough olive oil to coat all the potatoes. Mix everything with clean hands. Lay all the potatoes out on a tray evenly. Place it in oven when it’s preheated and set a clock for 20 minutes. Now it’s time to turn on the grill. You want a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit on the grill. While the grill warms up, season the steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Feel free to add whatever seasonings you like on steak. Once the grill is at temperature, place the steaks on the bottom rack directly in the heat. Sear one side for about 2-3 minutes, and flip. Sear again for about 2-3 minutes and flip for about a minute to get a nice cross section. I couldn’t get a cross section on both sides. I didn’t want to overcook the steak. So maybe you can adjust your times if you want both sides to have one. After that your steak is done.

When the timer goes off for the potatoes, take them out and check their softness with a knife. If they are soft, add the shredded cheese, and place back in the oven. At this point you can turn the oven off and just let the heat melt the cheese. When the cheese is melted you can take the potatoes out of the oven and serve. Plate the steak and potatoes and you’re ready to eat.

I know it’s rare that a steak goes on sale, so this is an occasional thing. I hope you find a deal like this near you. I can recommend Weis because I haven’t seen a steak sale like this from competitors. Even if you can’t find a steak at a reasonable price, you still must try these potato wedges.
