Tips

  • For the potatoes, add more avocado oil than you think you need.
  • For crispy potatoes, place them cut side down in the baking dish.
  • Add garlic to the potatoes later to prevent it from burning.
  • Salt brine one steak overnight if you have enough time.
  • Take the steak out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Love avocado oil because it has a high smoke point.
  • Cook the steak with the fat cap side down until golden brown.
