What’s the best steak cut for this recipe?

Sirloin and NY strip work beautifully. They're tender and cook quickly. Tenderloin is also great if you're feeling fancy. Avoid flank or skirt steak—they tend to be tough here.

Why parboil the potatoes first?

It gives them a head start, so they crisp outside without staying raw in the middle. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Store it in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of olive oil, or warm in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.
