Note

Ensure your oven broiler is preheated before adding the pan to avoid uneven cooking.

For best results, use baking potatoes like Russets for crispier wedges.

Marinating time can be extended up to 2 hours for deeper flavor, but do not exceed as the acid in the lemon may begin to "cook" the meat texture.

If your broiler runs hot, consider moving the rack one level down to prevent the potatoes from burning before the steak is cooked.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture.
