Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Vegetables
- 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- ¾ lb flank steak
- Steak seasoning, to taste
- 10 oz baby Yukon gold potatoes, cut into sixths (or quarters if small)
- Homemade seasoned salt, to taste
- 3–4 oz mixed greens
- 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Cook Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a 10″ skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fully caramelized, which will take about 20 to 30 minutes. Once done, set aside. These caramelized onions can also be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
- Cook Potatoes: Optional: soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat very dry. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and homemade seasoned salt. You have two cooking options: either roast the potatoes in an Air Fryer basket at 360°F for 20-25 minutes or roast them on a foil-lined, nonstick-sprayed baking sheet in the oven at 425°F for 30-40 minutes, stirring once or twice for even cooking. Set cooked potatoes aside. These can also be prepared a day ahead.
- Grill Steak: Rub the flank steak with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season generously on both sides with steak seasoning. Preheat your grill on high until it reaches 500°F, then reduce one burner to low heat. Place the steak on the high-heat side and grill for 1½ minutes per side with the lid closed between flips. Next, move the steak to the low-heat side and continue grilling for 2 minutes per side for a medium-well finish, keeping the lid closed. Allow the steak to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into strips. This step can be done in advance.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the mixed greens equally into two bowls. Top with slices of grilled steak, caramelized onions, roasted potatoes, and grape or cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with your favorite dressing, then serve immediately for a delicious and balanced meal.
Notes
- Caramelized onions can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated.
- Soaking potatoes before cooking helps remove excess starch and improves crispiness.
- Adjust steak cook time depending on preferred doneness.
- Roasted potatoes can be prepared in either an air fryer or conventional oven based on equipment availability.
- Use steak seasoning of choice or create your own blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
