    Ingredients

    This baked steak recipe uses simple ingredients that you can easily find at your local grocery store. Let's take a look at the highlights!

    Individual easy baked steak and potatoes ingredients on a table.
    • Steak: You can use chuck, blade or round steaks to make oven baked steak and potatoes. Just make sure to choose steaks that are similar in size so they cook evenly.
    • Potatoes: Use baby or small potatoes or you can cut larger potatoes into chunks.
    • Mushrooms: Simple white or brown mushrooms work great. Save some time by choosing presliced.
    • Aromatics: Onions and garlic give the sauce a deep, rich flavor.
    • Umami flavor: Soy sauce and tomato paste give the sauce more umami, savory flavor.
    • Cornstarch: Used to add a crust to the steaks. You can also use potato starch.
    • Thyme or rosemary: To keep things simple the recipe uses dried herbs but you can also use fresh if desired.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Mushrooms: Use eggplant, cauliflower, celery, carrots, broccoli, asparagus, squash, snow peas, or corn instead.
    • Onion: Leeks, shallots or green onions make tasty options with similar flavor.
    • Thyme or Rosemary: Change up the herbs and use sage, marjoram, or oregano. Italian seasoning is also a tasty substitution.
    • Spicy: Add a teaspoon of chili pepper flakes, jalapeno powder, smoked jalapeno powder, or chipotle powder to the soy mixture to add a little spice. I will also occasionally add a teaspoon of our homemade hot pepper sauce, or use your favorite hot sauce instead.
    • Pepper: Use freshly cracked pepper to add texture as well as a more subtle pepper flavor.

    • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Prepare a roasting pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

    • Cover and bake in your oven for 2 hours.

      I used low sodium soy sauce (measured in the tomato paste can as described) i did add extra water. I would use half for future as it was still on the saltier side. Definitely a nice yummy dish paired with a nice buttered roll. Will make again with the minor soy sauce adjuatment. I recommend not salting the beef as well.
