Bistro-Style Steak & Potatoes

Step 1

Peel & cube the potatoes.

Step 2

Add the potatoes to a pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 10 min, or until fork-tender.

Step 3

Peel & mince the shallot.

Step 4

Melt a pat of butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallot & a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring for 3 min. Add a splash of water (or broth if you have it) to deglaze the pan.

Step 5

Mince the chives. Set aside.

Step 6

Once the liquid has evaporated from the pan, add the steak. Season the steak with salt & pepper (or add your favorite steak seasoning)! Cook undisturbed for 3-5 min each side, or until the steak is done to your liking.

Step 7

Drain the potatoes, reserving a bit of the cooking liquid. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, reserved cooking liquid, salt, pepper & a dab of butter. Feel free to season the potatoes up with your favorite seasonings (we love onion powder & garlic powder)! Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth & creamy.

Step 8

Remove the steak from the pan. Leave the shallots over the heat. Add a dab of butter to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring for 1-2 min.

Step 9

Add the chives to the creamy mashed potatoes.

Step 10

Serve the mashed potatoes alongside the steak. Pour the shallot gravy over all. Bon appétit!
