# Pan Seared Steak and Smashed Potatoes | Made In - Made In

Elevate familiar favorites for a perfect date night meal of steak, crispy smashed potatoes, and a mushroom pan sauce that comes together in under an hour.

There’s no fare more standard than steak and potatoes, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. In this recipe, our Creative Culinary Director Rhoda Boone elevates these familiar favorites and adds a tasty mushroom [pan sauce](https://madeincookware.com/blogs/pan-sauce) for a dish that’s perfect for a cozy date night in (and sure to impress). If you are serving four people, simply double the ingredients. You’ll likely need to crisp the potatoes in two batches.

This recipe comes together in under an hour, though you can prep both the steak and potatoes ahead of time. We recommend seasoning your steak with salt and pepper as ahead of time as you can, up to overnight, to bring out as much flavor as possible.
