Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. fingerling potatoes
  • 5 oz. baby spinach
  • 2 shallots, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup Dijon
  • 2 oz. grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 2 steaks
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1 tsp veal demi-glace
  • 3 tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. eheat oven to 425. Rinse potatoes and halved lengthwise. Rinse spinach. Peel shallots, halve and thinly slice. Using the flat side of a knife, gently crush garlic. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  2. Spread Dijon on a small plate. Place Parmesan on a separate small plate. Working 1 at a time, lightly dip cut sides of potatoes into mustard, then into Parmesan, shaking off excess. Arrange cheese-side down on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper. Roast until cheese is browned and crisp, 15 to 17 minutes. Discard any remaining mustard or cheese.

  3. While potatoes roast, heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add crushed red pepper, spinach, crushed garlic, and half of shallot. Saute until shallot is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in peas to warm through, 1 minute more. Season with salt and black pepper. Divide veggies between serving plates and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

  4. Pat steaks dry with paper towel and season all over with 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper. Wipe pan from vegetables clean and return to medium heat with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil. When oil is shimmering, add steaks and sear until browned and medium rare, 7 to 9 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a cutting board, reserving any juices in pan to make sauce, and set aside to rest.

  5. While steaks rest, return pan to medium heat and add remaining shallot and 1 tsp olive oil. Saute until shallot is softened, about 2 minutes. Add red wine, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan. Stir in demi-glace to combine, about 30 seconds more. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until liquid is reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat.

  6. Cut steaks again the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Divide between plates with sauteed vegetables. Serve with crispy Parmesan potatoes, spoon pan sauce over steak and dig in!
