Stovetop Strip Steak with Lemon–Oregano Onion Pan Sauce, Roasted Broccoli & Smashed Gold Potatoes

A not-too-fussy steak dinner: pan-seared strip steak with a fast citrus pan sauce (not peppercorn, not mushroom gravy), plus roasted broccoli and smashed golden potatoes. Avoids the recent strip-steak + peppercorn/mushroom + green beans lane.

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth® Natural Grass Fed Angus Beef Strip Steak (10 oz) 1 steak (10 oz) for 2 people $18.99 (reg)
  • Simple Truth Organic® Gourmet Gold Potatoes (24 oz) 16 oz (about 2/3 of the bag) $3.50 (sale)
  • Organic Broccoli Bunch (1 lb) 1 lb (or 12 oz if you prefer) $3.49 (reg)
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions (1 lb) 1/2 large onion, thin-sliced $1.29 (sale)
  • Fresh Organic Lemon - Each 1 lemon (zest + 2–3 Tbsp juice) $1.69 (reg)
  • Simple Truth Organic® Oregano 1 tsp dried or 1 Tbsp chopped fresh $2.79 (reg)
  • Olive oil 2 1/2 Tbsp, divided
  • Butter 1 Tbsp (optional but nice for sauce)
  • Dijon mustard 1 tsp
  • Kosher salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450°F.
  2. Potatoes: Cut 16 oz gold potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper. Roast on a sheet pan 20–25 min, flipping once, until browned and tender.
  3. Broccoli: Cut broccoli into florets (and slice stems). After potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, add broccoli to the same pan (or a second pan) tossed with 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper. Roast 12–15 minutes until browned at edges.
  4. Steak: Pat steak dry. Salt generously (about 3/4 tsp kosher salt total) and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high until very hot. Add 1/2 Tbsp olive oil. Sear steak 3–4 min per side for medium-rare (or to your preference). Transfer to a plate to rest 5–8 minutes.
  5. Quick lemon-onion pan sauce (same skillet): Lower heat to medium. Add sliced onion with a pinch of salt; cook 3–4 minutes until softened. Add lemon zest, 2–3 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon, and 2–3 Tbsp water to loosen browned bits. Stir in oregano and 1 Tbsp butter (optional). Taste and adjust salt/pepper.
  6. Finish potatoes: Lightly smash roasted potatoes with a spatula right on the pan; return to oven 3 minutes for extra crisp edges (optional).
  7. Serve: Slice steak against the grain. Spoon lemon-onion sauce over steak. Serve with roasted broccoli and smashed potatoes.

Cook time: 25–35 min

Estimated cost: Medium–High (steak is the main cost; veg is inexpensive/in-season-ish)

Health notes: High-protein; add extra broccoli for more fiber. Use a bit less butter/oil to lighten.

Drink pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah (WA works great), or for a brighter match: Malbec.
