History
The combination of steak and potatoes dates back to European cuisine, particularly in England and France, where roasted meats were traditionally paired with root vegetables. As beef farming expanded in the United States, steak became a symbol of hearty meals and prosperity. Roasted potatoes, introduced to Europe in the 16th century, quickly became the ideal side dish due to their affordability, long shelf life, and ability to absorb flavors. Today, steak and potatoes remain a classic dish in restaurants and homes worldwide.
