Preparation
Roast the potatoes & beets
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Cut the potatoes lengthwise into ½ inch wedges.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- In a medium bowl, combine the beets, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Add to the pan and roast, flipping halfway, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender.
- In the last 2 min., top the potatoes with ½ the garlic.
Cook the steaks
- Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry; season with the 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. per side, 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. Let rest before slicing.
Make the sauce
- In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the demi-glace, ⅔ of the mustard, ½ the vinegar and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 1 to 2 min., until reduced.
- Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well.
Make the salad
- Separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining mustard and vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Add the lettuce and beets; toss well.
Plate your dish
- Divide the potatoes, steaks and salad between your plates.
- Spoon the sauce over the steaks. Bon appétit!
