Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Potatoes

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

2

Add Tomatoes and Potatoes

Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

3

Grill the Steak

While the potatoes are cooking, preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Rub the hanger steak with the remaining olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

4

Rest and Slice the Steak

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

5

Serve

Plate the tomato-braised potatoes, top with sliced hanger steak, and garnish with fresh parsley.
