4. Cut your potatoes into quarters and toss them with salt, pepper and the olive oil, place on a sheet pan and roast in the oven for 30-40min or until potatoes are crispy and fully cooked. Remove and allow them to cool then refrigerate for 1 hour.
5. Once you are ready to grill your steaks you can pan sauté, broil or grill. For Broiling place your oven grate about 6-8 inches below your heating element, place your steaks in an oven safe pan and place under the broiler, cook about 3-4min per side then turn off the broiler and allow them to cook for another 8min or until the internal temp is 140F.
