16
(if u want to add any other veggies do this now.. great veggies to add would be chopped broccoli, green beans, green pepper, fresh baby spinach)
-
17
by now the steak should be cooked through.
-
18
add the half and half and give a good stir..
-
19
lower heat to medium low so it is simmering, not boiling.
-
20
and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
-
21
keep an eye on it and stir occasionally, if it starts to dry out add a dash more bacon grease or add a bit of beef broth(I didn't have a problem with this)
-
22
after 20 minutes of simmering the flavors should be well incorporated and ur potatoes should now be done.

cut the potato in half
-
25
cut the halves into 3rds.

pour 1/4 of your steak skillet on top of potato.

33

34
I used eye of round because its cheap.
-
35
russet potatoes work best but I prefer red potatoes because I like to eat the skin on red potatoes but not russet potatoes.
-
36
I made mine this time without the dollop of sour cream and without the bacon bits because I ran out and cash was low.
-
37
