Start by making a marinade for the steak with 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and about half a tablespoon of honey.

Add 0.5 teaspoon dried mustard and 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning to the marinade and mix well using a fork to break up the honey.

Place the top sirloin steak in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated, and cover with a lid. Let it marinate in the fridge all day, flipping it halfway through.

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half, placing them in a bowl.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and drizzle olive oil in a 9x13 casserole dish, using a silicone brush to coat the bottom.

Sprinkle about 0.5 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the olive oil in the casserole dish.

Add the seasoning packet that came with the baby potatoes to the Parmesan cheese and mix well before sprinkling it evenly over the olive oil.

Place the halved potatoes cut side down on top of the seasoned Parmesan cheese mixture in the casserole dish.

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes.

Prepare the Brussels sprouts by rinsing them and cutting them in half, discarding any funky leaves.

Drizzle olive oil over the Brussels sprouts and season with Kinder buttery Steakhouse seasoning, tossing to coat evenly.

Cook the Brussels sprouts and steak on a Blackstone grill, starting with the Brussels sprouts to allow them to char.

Sear the marinated steak on the grill over medium-high heat for a few minutes on each side until cooked to desired doneness.

If the grill runs out of gas, finish cooking the steak in a medium-high heated cast iron skillet with some oil.

Add about 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet when the steak is almost done, basting the steak with the melted butter.

Once the steak is done, sprinkle kosher salt over it and tent with foil to rest for a few minutes.

Remove the potatoes from the oven, noting they should break off into crispy Parmesan bites when picked up.

Plate the steak, potatoes, and Brussels sprouts, serving with A1 steak sauce for dipping.
