Yield: 2

Adapted from: Hello Fresh

A totally real, verified fact that we just made up: People who cook fancier weeknight dinners are more likely to receive a compliment from a stranger, meet their celebrity crush, and/or win the lottery. They’re also guaranteed to be rewarded with a delicious, steakhouse-quality meal without leaving the comforts of their own kitchen. Case in point: these seared sirloin steaks drizzled in a deluxe, sherry vinegar-spiked pan sauce with crispy, cheesy potato rounds, and a tangy mixed greens salad.
Prep: 10 Cook: 40

• 12oz Yukon gold potatoes
• 5tsp sherry vinegar
• ¼cup parmesan cheese
• 1oz beef stock concentrate
• 2oz mixed greens
• 1shallot
• 1tsp garlic powder
• 14oz sirloin steak
• 2TBS sour cream
• salt & pepper
• sugar
• olive oil
• cooking oil
• butter

Prep & make vinaigrette:

Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet. Wash and dry produce.

Slice potatoes into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Halve, peel, and finely chop half the shallot (save remaining for another use).

In a small bowl, whisk together half the vinegar (you’ll use the rest later), 1 TBS olive oil, and ½ tsp sugar. Season with salt and pepper.

Make potato clusters:

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, garlic powder, 2 TBS olive oil, and a couple big pinches of salt and pepper, toss until potatoes are completely coated. Arrange on prepared sheet in clusters (about 6 slightly overlapping slices each).

Roast on middle rack for 12 minutes, then sprinkle with Parmesan.

Return to middle rack until potatoes are tender and cheese is lightly browned, 10-12 minutes more.

Cook steak:

While potatoes roast, pat steak dry with paper towels, season all over with salt and pepper.

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3- to 6-minutes per side.

Turn off heat, transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.

Make sauce:

Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Add chopped shallot, cook, stirring, until softened, 1- to 2-minutes.

Pour in remaining vinegar. Simmer until reduced by half, 30 seconds.

Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water. Simmer until thickened, 2- to 3-minutes. Turn off heat.

Stir in sour cream and 1 TBS butter until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Make salad:

While sauce cooks, toss mixed greens in a second large bowl with as much vinaigrette as desired. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & serve:

Slice steak against the grain.

Divide steak, potato clusters, and salad between plates. Top steak with sauce and serve.
