(Almost a) One-pot Steak & potato recipe

Lately, I've become fond of making so-called "one pot meals." Probably because deep down, I want to be lazy. To combat that slippery slope, I make this in two sauce pans – for the win!

• 1# of trimmed and cubed Ribeye steak
  (you could substitute sliced Polish Sausage because it works just as amazingly well)

• 1# of small red "creamer-style" potatoes - quartered
• 1 or 2 zucchini, sliced into 1/2" chunks
• 1TB Sesame seeds
• 2TB olive oil (divided)
• 5 crushed garlic cloves
• 1 small white onion, diced

In a large pan, heat 1 TB olive oil and saute the potatoes, onions and garlic on medium heat - stirring occasionally. When the potatoes start to brown, add the zucchini, sesame seeds and toss to make sure they're fully integrated.

As you start the potatoes,  simmer the ribeye cubes in a smaller pan with remaining olive oil at medium heat. I like to marinate the steak for several hours before. I'd give you the recipe but who has time to make their own marinade? I like C.B Stubblefield's as they tend to always be phenomenal.

I also like Ribeye because it tends to be a really tender cut of meat.

Oh, stir the meat occasionally too. My wife usually hates steak so I make sure that the slowly-cooked meat is tender and delicious. Cubing it small helps the steak arrive that way and makes my wife happy. So, when the steak has browned evenly and your potatoes have cooked through (it should be roughly around the same time), combine, season to taste, stir and serve.

When I served this last night, I gave my son a taste of the steak and potato mixture, he hugged me.

Hard.

The whole shootin' match serves 4 and can be served as a single bowl of joy. Garnish if you're that sort of person. I'm not.
