Please note this meal required a few different cooking methods, both stove top/Oven and microwave. All for the sake of saving time in getting dinner on the table in a hurry. This is merely what we did, you may have a different idea.\nJust a means of showing that you can prepare a healthy dinner in less than 40 minutes. POSTED ESPECIALLY FOR MY DAUGHTER BRIANA. I prefer using a cast Iron grill skillet.
COMBINE SPICES OF YOUR CHOICE IN A SMALL BOWL, I used onion powder, garlic powder steak seasoning and butter flavored cooking spray. Blend spices together then sprinkle generously over all sides of steak and allow steak to sit for at least 15 minutes or longer if time permits. Massage spices into meat with hands then spray lightly with cooking spray( I used butter flavored) so spices sticks to steaks.
Generously spray a cast iron skillet with cooking spray and a drizzle or 2 of olive or canola oil. Heat over medium high heat, then add the steaks and cook for about 3 minutes per side, then drizzle top of steak with a little olive or canola oil about 1 1/2 teaspoon over each steak.
Then place skillet in preheated broiler, I had mine set on high & cooked first side for 6 minutes, then turned over and cooked an additional 3 minutes. Then remove from oven and remove from skillet unless you want steaks to continue to cook a bit longer while resting in skillet. Place on a platter and allow juices to redistribute. Add a pat of butter to steaks while still warm if desired.
Remove cover on Potatoes, and follow directions on cover, cook as instructed. Ours needed 14 minutes total.
Then cook green beans as directed on bag, ours said 6 minutes for an 1100 watt microwave or larger wattage. They were Al Dente Crisp. When done season with desired spices. Add a pat or 2 of butter and stir while hot.
For the broccoli slaw salad, just open contents of bag into a medium size bowl, add all other ingredients, dried cranberries, bacon bits, sunflower seeds and dressing packet, stir to mix and serve.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat steaks gently in a 300°F oven to avoid overcooking, and microwave potatoes and green beans separately.
cast iron skillet · broiler · meat thermometer (optional but recommended)
Sear the steaks 3 minutes per side in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then transfer the skillet to a preheated broiler set on high for 6 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the second side.
Cast iron is recommended because it retains heat well for the broiler step, but an oven-safe skillet will work if it can handle broiler temperatures.
The creator used onion powder, garlic powder, steak seasoning, and butter-flavored cooking spray. Any steak rub or combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder works.
Season the steaks up to 15 minutes ahead, but sear and broil them fresh. The green beans and potatoes reheat well; broccoli slaw is best assembled just before serving.
Use a meat thermometer: medium-rare is 130–135°F, medium is 135–145°F. Let steaks rest 5 minutes on a platter after broiling to redistribute juices.
