Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak
  • 1.5 lb potatoes
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    While potatoes cook, season the 1 lb steak with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Cook steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until browned and internal temperature reaches 130°F.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, whisk the 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp vinegar, and remaining 1 tbsp oil. Toss with the warm potatoes and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Remove steak from pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.

  5. 5

    Serve the sliced steak with the potato salad and a side of crispy french fries (store-bought or homemade).
