If you do not have an outdoor grill, you may prepare this recipe using a grill pan heated over medium-high heat. If all the ingredients do not fit at once, cook the steak first and cover it to keep warm while you cook the potatoes. The cooking time on an outdoor grill may vary slightly from a grill pan so adjust the recipe accordingly.
