  • Do not open the oven during the last step of roasting. Slow roasting the steak provides an incredibly tender and juicy steak. Use a meat thermometer as cooking times may vary depending on the size and weight of the steak and ambient oven temperature.
  • Peeling the garlic cloves before adding to the foil will roast them much faster. Because of this, pay close attention to prevent burning.
  • Cutting the potatoes into quarters shortens the cooking time. Test the potatoes are tender and cooked by piercing with a fork. It should very easily pierce through the potato.
