New York Strip Steaks
with Baked Potatoes and Asparagus

Possible Cooking Methods:   Oven   Air Fryer   

Steak and potatoes is a classic American dinner, but it usually takes three pans to prepare everything, including a vegetable. Here we use a large sheet pan to cook everything at once in the oven. The trick is to stagger the cooking by starting with the potatoes, adding the steak and asparagus closer to the end and then broiling everything together as the grand finale. Do remember that the timing of this recipe depends entirely on the thickness of the steaks and how you like your steak prepared. Be ready to flex in either direction with the timing to make dinner your way.

2 Russet potatoes, cut in half lengthwise

canola oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 (1-inch thick) New York strip steaks

olive oil

Worcestershire sauce

1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed

sour cream

fresh chives, chopped

Oven Directions

Serves:2 to 4

Cooking Time:40 minutes

1.  Pre-heat the oven to 450°F.

2.  Rub the potatoes with canola oil and season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the potatoes cut side down on the left-hand side of a large sheet pan. Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake at 450°F for 30 minutes.

3.  Drizzle the steaks with olive oil and Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pierce the steaks several times with a fork on both sides and let them sit at room temperature while the potatoes are cooking.

4.  Trim the asparagus stalks and toss them with olive oil and salt.

5.  After 30 minutes of cooking, flip the potatoes over and add the steaks to the sheet pan, next to the potatoes. Place the asparagus on the right-hand side of the pan next to the steaks. Return the pan to the oven.

6.  Roast at 450°F for another 5 minutes. Flip the steaks over and toss the asparagus. Turn on the broiler and return the pan to the oven. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how you like your steak cooked. (3 more minutes will cook a 1-inch thick steak to medium rare. Give or take a couple of minutes for less or more well-cooked steak.)

7.  Let the steaks rest for five minutes before slicing and serving. While the steaks rest, continue to broil the asparagus for a few more minutes.

8.  Top the baked potatoes with sour cream and chives and serve with the steaks and asparagus.
