Pan Seared Flat Iron Steak & Potato Cakes

3:57 PM |

The title says it all. Pan seared flat iron steaks with potato cakes. This includes a salad with homemade dressing and homemade steak sauce.

Flat iron steaks. They were kind of big so I cut them into more manageable pieces. They marinated overnight in a mixture of soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, scallions, and black paper. They are shown here resting and getting up to room temperature.

While the meat is coming up to room temperature, I started the potato pancakes. This is leftover mashed potatoes plus garlic, salt, pepper, and an egg. Mix all this up.

Kind of looks like baby food when it is all mixed up. Form this mixture into patties.

I pan fried the patties in olive oil until it held together and the edges were cripsy.

This is what the almost finished product looks like. Going to finish them in the oven.

This is thinly sliced green onion washing in a bowl of ice water. I'll use these to top the potato pancakes.

Searing the steaks. Get the pan nice and hot. I did not use any oil or anything. Just meat and heat.

Seared steaks. They'll finish in the oven with the potato pancakes. I put them both in at 400 degree.

Made a simple salad with iceberg lettuce, cucumber, zucchini, roma tomatoes, and white onion. Dressing is olive oil, lemon juice, basil, salt, pepper, capers, and some of the caper water.
