Dinner for Dad

Ingredients

3 cups frozen hash browns (shredded potatoes0
sea salt & pepper to taste
12-15 frozen pearl onions
1/2-3/4lb. boneless steak, well trimmed
2 Tbsp. steak sauce (A-1 or other brand)
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups baby carrots (halved, if desired)
2 1/2 cups frozen green beans
1-2 sprigs rosemary

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray inside of cast iron 2-quart Dutch oven and lid with canola oil. Shake hash browns loosely into pot and lightly season with salt. Scatter pearl onions and set steak atop. Spread steak sauce on meat and sprinkle with mushrooms. Distribute baby carrots around the pot and fill rest of the way with green beans. Tuck rosemary sprig into crevices.

Cover and bake for about 28 minutes or until about 2 minutes after the aroma of a fully-cooked meal escapes the oven.

Notes

The concept of this meal is that it is so easy and safe (no knife work) that a child could prepare it as a Father’s Day treat. What may surprise you is how delicious it is!

Tips

If your Dad doesn’t want a steak, feel free to substitute any other protein (chicken, fish, pork, etc.) for the meat. It will still be a lip-smacking “did-it-myself” meal.
The steak will usually turn out well-done on the edges and more toward medium in the center. For more fully-cooked meat, leave in the oven for at least 30 minutes.
