Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 450°F. Cut Yukon Golds into 3/4-inch chunks. Halve or slice mushrooms. Mince garlic. Pat steak very dry; season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast potatoes: Toss potatoes with 1–1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper. Spread on a sheet pan; roast until browned and tender, 25–35 minutes, tossing once halfway.
- Cook mushrooms: While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet on medium-high. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and mushrooms (and sliced onion if using). Cook until mushrooms brown and give off their moisture, 7–10 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook 30 seconds. Season, then scrape mushrooms to a bowl.
- Sear steak: In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add steak; sear 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or to your liking). Transfer to a plate and rest 5–8 minutes.
- Pan sauce: Lower heat to medium. Pour off excess fat if needed. Add red wine (or broth) and scrape up browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes. Stir in Dijon and 1 tbsp butter to gloss the sauce; taste and adjust salt/pepper.
- Finish & serve: Slice steak against the grain. Plate with roasted potatoes and mushrooms; spoon pan sauce over steak. Optional: quickly wilt spinach/kale in the warm skillet with a pinch of salt for an extra veg boost.
Health notes: ~800–950 calories per serving (depends on potato portion and butter). High protein; add extra greens if you want it lighter. Uses whole ingredients; keep sauce butter modest for heart-health.
Drink pairing: Washington State Syrah (e.g., Columbia Valley) or a Cabernet Sauvignon.
