Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Set a large pot of salted water on the stove for potatoes. Pat steak dry; season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts: Toss halved sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread cut-side down on a sheet pan. Roast 18–25 minutes until deeply browned and tender, tossing once halfway.
- Boil potatoes: Add potatoes to boiling water and cook 12–15 minutes until very tender. Drain well and return to pot.
- Make chimichurri: In a bowl, combine parsley, minced red onion, 1 minced garlic clove, red wine vinegar, pinch of red pepper flakes, and 4 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt/pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon if you like. Let sit while steak cooks.
- Mash: Mash potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and butter (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
- Sear steak (stove): Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot. Add a thin film of oil. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or to your preferred doneness). If thick, lower heat and cook 1–2 minutes more per side. Rest 5 minutes.
- Finish & serve: Slice steak against the grain. Spoon chimichurri over steak. Plate with roasted Brussels sprouts and Yukon mash.
