A NY strip, tri-tip or ranch steak seasoned with just salt is better.<br><br>This kit, as too many of Gobble&#8217;s, required that you start cooking the steak and carrots on the stove and then transfer them to the oven.  This, to me, is an unnecessary step and a waste of gas.  So after slicing the carrots and seasoning the beef, I cooked both on my iron skillet on the stove.  Once the beef was done, I removed it and added a couple of tablespoons of water to the carrots, covered it and cooked for a few more minutes, until the carrots were softish. <br><br>The mashed potatoes only required mixing with a pre-mix of poblano peppers &amp; corn and then warming up.  As my daughter doesn&#8217;t like poblano peppers and I don&#8217;t like corns and the two were mixed together, I just skipped that.  I did add the cheddar cheese afterwards.  I found the cheesy potatoes pretty tasty, but my daughter didn&#8217;t like them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-2537-1024x550.jpg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is IMG-2537-1024x550.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, I wouldn&#8217;t order this kit again.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got this kit for free due to credits and a welcome back promo code.
