Best ways to enjoy it

To serve this hearty meal, slice your T-bone steak and place it on a large platter. Arrange the loaded baked potatoes right next to it, topped with sour cream, chives, or your choice of toppings. Add a generous scoop of cheesy broccoli and a side of sweet corn. Don’t forget to pour melted butter over the corn for an extra touch! For the garlic bread, slice it into manageable pieces and arrange them attractively around the platter.

Keeping leftovers fresh

To store your delicious leftovers, let everything cool to room temperature, then carefully wrap the steak in foil or place it in an airtight container. The baked potatoes can also be wrapped in foil or stored separately. For broccoli and corn, a sealed container works best. Most cooked foods can be safely stored for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing, but be aware that the texture may change slightly when thawed.

Helpful cooking tips

• Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking; it helps redistribute the juices, ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness.
• For extra crispy potatoes, you can brush the skin with butter before seasoning and baking.
• If you’re short on time, consider making the garlic bread in the oven alongside the potatoes for multitasking efficiency.

Creative twists

Try experimenting with different flavors! Swap the T-bone for ribeye or salmon for a seafood twist. You could also use sweet potatoes for a healthier side option. For the cheesy broccoli, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a kick, or mix in some roasted garlic for a richer flavor. The corn could be substituted with a mixed vegetable medley for variety.
