Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 pound steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Wash potatoes thoroughly and cut them into thick wedges, approximately 1-inch wide. Pat the potato wedges dry with paper towels to ensure crispy edges.
- In a large bowl, toss potato wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Ensure each wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Prepare the steak by patting it dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before grilling.
- Place potato wedges on the preheated grill. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking and nice grill marks. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- While potatoes are grilling, place the steak on the hottest part of the grill. For medium-rare, grill 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- Remove steak from grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. This ensures a juicy and tender steak.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Arrange potato wedges on a serving plate and top with sliced steak.
- Optional: Drizzle remaining olive oil over the dish and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the crispy potatoes and perfectly grilled steak.
