Prep: 10 Cook: 35

• 12oz Yukon gold potatoes
• 6oz green beans
• 14oz sirloin steak
• 2TBS fig jam
• 1shallot
• ½oz sliced almonds
• 5tsp balsamic vinegar
• 1oz beef stock concentrate
• salt & pepper
• olive oil
• cooking oil
• butter

Prep:

Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.

Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and mince half the shallot.

Roast potatoes:

Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, season generously with salt and pepper.

Roast on middle rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes (you’ll start the green beans after 15 minutes).

Roast green beans:

Meanwhile, toss green beans on a second baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Once potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, place green beans on top rack. Roast until tender and lightly browned, 10-12 minutes.

Toast almonds:

While green beans roast, add almonds to a large, dry pan over medium high heat. Toast, stirring, until lightly browned, 2- to 4-minutes.

Turn off heat, transfer to a small bowl.

Cook steak:

Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for almonds 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. Wash out pan.

Make sauce & serve:

Add a drizzle of oil and minced shallot to same pan over medium high heat. Cook, stirring, until softened, 1- to 2-minutes.

Stir in ¼ cup water, vinegar, jam, and stock concentrate. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2- to 3-minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBS butter and season with salt and pepper.

Slice steak against the grain. Divide between plates along with potatoes and green beans. Sprinkle green beans with toasted almonds, drizzle steak with pan sauce, and serve.
