Bistro-Style Steak & Potatoes

recipe

• 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!
