Notes
Make sure to use KOSHER salt in this recipe, not table salt. This recipe was tested using Diamond Kosher salt, which has less sodium than the more widely available Morton's Kosher salt. If you are using Morton's and prefer a less salty tasting dish, use 1 teaspoon of Morton's in the herb and spice mix. Then adjust seasoning of finished dish with additional salt as needed.
You can substitute top sirloin for beef sirloin tip steak
When cooking the potatoes in the microwave, make sure to gently stir them in between cooking, as if you stir them too much, too much of the starch will be released and the potatoes will get sticky. Also, because microwave powers vary so much, the total cooking time to just fork tender may vary between 4 minutes and 8 minutes. That is why I suggest starting with a 4 minute cook, then add 1-2 minutes and check, so as to not overcook.
