Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 450°F. Halve 12 oz Brussels sprouts (or use the halved pack). Pat dry the 8 oz sirloin and season generously with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Smash 2 garlic cloves. Thin-slice 1 apple.
- Roast Brussels: Toss 12 oz Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Roast on a sheet pan 18–22 minutes, tossing once halfway, until browned and tender.
- Make quick apple salad: In a bowl, toss sliced 1 apple with 2 tsp vinegar, a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp olive oil. Add 2 cups torn lettuce if using. Set aside.
- Sear steak (stove): Heat a skillet over medium-high with 1 tbsp olive oil. Sear the 8 oz sirloin 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or to preference). Transfer steak to a plate to rest 5–8 minutes.
- Pan sauce: Lower heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp butter and the 2 smashed garlic cloves plus 1 rosemary sprig (optional). Stir 30 seconds. Add 1/3 cup red wine (or stock) and scrape up browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced. Whisk in 1 tsp Dijon; turn off heat. Taste and adjust salt/pepper. (Optional: add another 1 tsp butter for extra gloss.)
- Serve: Slice rested steak. Spoon red-wine pan sauce over. Plate with roasted Brussels sprouts and the crisp apple salad.
Health notes: ~700–900 kcal/person depending on potato/butter choices. Protein-forward; Brussels + apple add fiber and micronutrients. Keep it lighter by using 1 tsp butter in sauce and skipping potatoes if desired.
Drink pairing: Go medium-bodied and savory: Cabernet Franc (peppery/herbal) or a classic Côtes du Rhône (grenache/syrah blend) love rosemary and beef without overpowering. If you want a local-feeling option: Washington Cabernet Franc is widely available and typically great value.
