Ingredients

• 6 large potatoes
• 2 red onions
• 6 steaks (sirloin, ribeye, or flank are great options)
• Salt to taste
• Paprika to taste (sweet or spicy, depending on your preference)
• Ground black pepper to taste
• Olive oil for finishing

Step by Step Instructions

• Step 1

  

  Start by preparing the potatoes. Cut the 6 large potatoes in half to ensure they are similar in size for even cooking.

• Step 2

  

  Place the potatoes in a bowl and add salt to taste. Mix well so all the potatoes are evenly seasoned.

• Step 3

  

  Add paprika to the potatoes. This will give them a vibrant color and an extra layer of flavor. You can use spicy paprika for a kick or sweet paprika for a milder taste.

• Step 4

  

  Now, add ground black pepper to taste, which will enhance the flavors with a slight heat.

• Step 5

  

  Cut the red onions into thick slices. This cut will allow the onions to soften and caramelize during cooking, adding more depth of flavor to the dish.

• Step 6

  

  Take the steaks and cut them into pieces that match the size of the halved potatoes. Season the steaks with salt on both sides.

• Step 7

  

  Season the steaks with paprika for that smoky flavor and beautiful color.

• Step 8

  

  Now, it’s time to assemble the "sandwich." Take one half of the potato, place a piece of steak on top, and finish with a slice of onion. Cover with the other half of the potato. Repeat this process with all the ingredients.

• Step 9

  

  Wrap each "potato sandwich" in aluminum foil to create sealed packets. Place them on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 35 minutes, allowing the potatoes to soften and the steaks to cook through.

• Step 10

  

  After 35 minutes, remove the foil packages from the oven and carefully unwrap them. Brush the potatoes and steaks with a bit of olive oil and return them to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes. This will give the outside a slight crispness.

• Step 11

  

  Your dish is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately and savor this flavorful combination.

Tips and Conclusion

For extra flavor, you can add fresh or dried herbs to the seasoning. Rosemary or thyme work wonders. Additionally, adding a sprinkle of grated cheese before the final bake can give your dish a crispy, cheesy topping.

This potato, onion, and steak bake is incredibly versatile and can be easily adjusted to your taste. Wrapping everything in foil allows the ingredients to cook in their own juices, ensuring moist and flavorful results. The final crisping step adds a delightful contrast to the tenderness of the meat and potatoes. Make this recipe and enjoy the delicious flavors in every bite!
