Prompt

polymode style, A steak with salad and potatoes is a classic and delicious meal that many people enjoy. To prepare this meal, you’ll need to follow a few steps:

Choose a high-quality steak of your preferred cut and thickness, season it with salt and pepper, and cook it to your desired level of doneness. You can grill it, pan-fry it, or broil it.

While the steak is cooking, wash and chop your preferred greens for the salad. You can use lettuce, spinach, arugula, or a combination of greens. Add some sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and any other vegetables or toppings you like.

For the potatoes, you can either roast them in the oven or boil them on the stovetop. If roasting, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), wash and chop your potatoes into bite-sized pieces, toss them with olive oil and seasonings of your choice (such as garlic, rosemary, thyme, or paprika), and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. If boiling, wash and chop your potatoes into bite-sized pieces, place them in a pot of salted boiling water, and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender.

Once everything is cooked, assemble your plate with a portion of steak, a side of potatoes, and a generous serving of salad.
