cheeky dinner: balsamic steak & potatoes

roasted balsamic potatoes (from allrecipes.com)

•     2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
•     2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
•     1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
•     6 garlic cloves, minced
•     1 teaspoon dried thyme
•     1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
•     1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
•     3/4 teaspoon salt
•     1/4 teaspoon pepper

in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. add the potatoes, onion and garlic; toss to combine. add the thyme and rosemary; toss well. cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until potatoes are hot.

transfer to a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are golden and almost tender. add the vinegar, salt and pepper; toss well. bake 5-8 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.

for the steak, i just seared it to rare and drizzled balsamic glaze over while the meat was resting.


this is a great (and easy) dinner!
