Seasoned Steak and Potatoes

Who doesn't love steak and potatoes?  Here is an inexpensive twist on a famous dish! 

1 package pan steak
2.5 lbs. red potatoes
light Italian dressing
1 tsp. vinegar 
garlic salt, season salt, pepper

Wash potatoes, dice into bite size pieces.  Place in a gallon sized Ziplock bag and add 1/4 c. light Italian dressing, vinager, and sprinkle approximatly 1/2 teaspoon each of the garlic salt, season salt, and pepper.  Seal, removing air, and coat potatoes well.  Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to absorb flavor.  Meanwhile, mix some garlic salt, season salt, and pepper together to rub on the steak. 
In a frying pan, over medium heat, pan fry the potatoes until golden brown on the outside.  Place them in a 13x9" dish sprayed generously with non-stick cooking spray.  Rub steaks down on both sides with the prepared seasonings.  Sear them on each side (in the same pan you cooked the potatoes in) until brown over high heat.  (About 2 minutes on each side.)  Place them on top of the potatoes; cover with aluminum foil and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.  Steak may be removed after 15 minutes if you desire a rare center.  Recover potatoes and return them to the oven to complete baking.  When the potatoes are finished baking, slice the steak into small pieces and stir into potatoes.  

Add a vegetable and you have a cheap, quick, delicious meal to enjoy with your family!
