🔪 Instructions:

For the T-Bone Steak:

In a bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder and paprika for extra flavor.

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through.

For the Green Beans:

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the trimmed green beans, season with salt and black pepper, and stir to coat.

Cover the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the green beans are tender-crisp. Stir occasionally.

For the Biscuits:
