•potatoes:

-preheat your oven to 400 degrees

-put a good amount of olive oil on pan and place your potatoes on it and mix around so they cook in the olive oil better

-place in oven for 10 mins

-after 10 mins take them out and move them around and place in the oven for another 10 minutes

•steak:

-thaw your chosen steak (mine was a filet mignon)

- season your steak with salt and dan-O’s seasoning

-put a good amount of olive oil in a pan and put to medium-high temperature

-place both sides of fat cap in the pan for about a minute each before cooking the steak

-cook your steak for about 5-6 minutes before adding butter to the pan

-turn temperature to low so the butter doesn’t burn

-melt butter ontop of the steak for a minute then let it melt into the pan and with a spoon pour it on the steak

-cook to your desired liking

•Vegetables:

-follow the directions on the back of the bag for timing

-once finished in the microwave cut open and sprinkle some salt in the bag and a little bit of butter and shake around!

enjoy!😊 🥩

... Read moreFor college students balancing their studies and social lives, planning quick and nutritious meals is essential. The presented recipe incorporates versatile ingredients like Idaho potatoes, filet mignon, and easy-to-make steamed vegetables. Potatoes are a staple rich in carbohydrates, making them perfect for a fulfilling meal that keeps you energized through long study sessions. Season them with Dan-O's seasoning or your preferred mix to elevate their taste. Filet mignon provides a protein-packed option that's both indulgent and satisfying. Cooking the steak with butter adds a rich flavor, while managing the flame correctly ensures it turns out perfectly juicy. Finally, incorporating a mix of vegetables boosts the meal with vitamins and minerals, adhering to a balanced diet. Remember, taking the time to enjoy your meals can also help you relax and recharge. This dinner idea is not only quick and easy but also caters to a variety of tastes, making it ideal for any college student's busy lifestyle.
