During recipe development for One-Pan Wonders, we took “one-pan” quite literally. Each chapter centers on a different vessel to show the range of its possibilities, and aside from using a few mixing bowls and a food processor, these meals are truly all made in just one pan.
Rebecca, who was raised on steak and potatoes, knew what she wanted from the book. One-Pan Wonders did not disappoint.
“When I got my hands on One-Pan Wonders, I was on a mission to seek out a meal that was quick and satisfied my weeknight steak cravings,” she writes.

For our weeknight version of this dinnertime staple, we sear the beefy, well-marbled strip steaks in a hot skillet until well browned. For a perfectly crisp side of potatoes, we cut red potatoes into wedges and jump-start their cooking in the microwave. Using the meaty juices left behind in the skillet, we imparted some flavorful browning onto the wedges, giving them an appealing golden hue and a crisp bite. Drizzled with our punchy parsley sauce, these perfectly seared steaks could give any steakhouse a run for its money.
“I highly value recipes and cookbooks that come from America’s Test Kitchen. There is never a doubt that the recipe will be a success. America’s Test Kitchen is synonymous with quality, and their newest cookbook, One-Pan Wonders, continues this well-deserved expectation.”
