Preparation
Roast the carrots
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Quarter the carrots lengthwise.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Roast, flipping halfway, 15 to 18 min., until tender.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and mince the shallot.
- Cut the ciabatta crosswise into ½ inch pieces.
- In a small bowl, microwave 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and ½ the garlic, in 15 sec. increments, until melted.
Cook the steaks
- Pat the steaks dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the steaks* and cook, 3 to 5 min. on one side, until partially cooked.
- Flip and add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, spooning the butter over the steaks, 3 to 5 min., until cooked as desired (to ensure a consistent temperature throughout, turn over at least twice).
- Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Make the garlic bread
- Meanwhile, arrange the ciabatta on a second lined sheet pan and brush with the garlic butter.
- Toast in the oven, flipping halfway, 6 to 8 min., until beginning to crisp.
Make the sauce
- In the reserved pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the shallot and remaining garlic. Sauté, scraping up any browned bits, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant.
- Add the tomato sauce, demi-glace and ⅓ cup water(double for 4 portions); bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 min., until slightly reduced; season with S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the carrots and steaks (slice beforehand if desired) between your plates.
- Spoon the sauce over the steaks.
- Serve the garlic bread on the side. Bon appétit!
