Stove-to-Oven New York Strip with Lemon-Garlic Pan Jus + Roasted Brussels & Gold Potatoes

A classic, not-sweet pan-seared steak dinner with a lemony, garlicky pan sauce and a wintery roast-y side. Uses in-season WA February staples (citrus, potatoes, brassicas).

Ingredients

  • Certified Angus Beef Boneless New York Strip Value Pack (About 2 per Pack) 2 steaks, 8 oz each (about 1 lb total) $17.59 sale (per lb)
  • Fresh Brussels Sprouts - Order by the Pound 12 oz, halved $3.99
  • Simple Truth Organic® Gourmet Gold Potatoes (24 oz) 12 oz, cut into 1-inch chunks $3.50 sale
  • Fresh Organic Lemon - Each 1 (zest + 2 tbsp juice) $1.69
  • Spice World® Fresh Diced Garlic (5 oz) 1 tbsp $3.49
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1/2 medium, thinly sliced $1.29 sale (per lb)
  • Kroger® Fat Free Reduced Sodium Beef Broth (32 oz) 1/2 cup $2.49
  • Olive oil 2 tbsp
  • Butter 2 tbsp (optional but recommended)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Toss halved Brussels sprouts and potato chunks with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 25–35 minutes, flipping once, until browned and tender.
  2. Pat steaks dry; season generously with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temp 15 minutes while veggies roast.
  3. Heat a heavy skillet on medium-high until very hot. Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare, depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest 5–10 minutes.
  4. Lower heat to medium. Add sliced onion; cook 2–3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds.
  5. Add 1/2 cup beef broth; scrape up browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes. Stir in lemon zest + 2 tbsp lemon juice. Off heat, swirl in butter if using. Taste and adjust salt/pepper.
  6. Serve steaks with roasted Brussels + potatoes; spoon pan sauce over steak.

Health notes: Higher in saturated fat depending on steak cut; add extra broccoli/Brussels and go easy on butter to lighten. Roughly ~700–950 kcal/serving depending on portion and sauce.

Drink pairing: Washington Syrah (peppery, medium-full) or Cabernet Sauvignon for a classic steak match. If you prefer lighter: WA Merlot.

Stovetop Peppercorn Sirloin with Quick Orange–Cabbage Crunch Salad

Bold, steakhouse-style with a warm, peppery pan sauce (no sweet glaze). The “salad” is crunchy and bright—great in late winter when cabbage and citrus shine.

Ingredients

  • Certified Angus Beef Choice Top Sirloin Steak (1 Steak) 1 lb total (1 large steak or 2 small) for 2 servings $14.99 (per lb)
  • Red Cabbage 3 cups thinly sliced $1.99 (per lb)
  • Fresh Large Organic Navel Oranges - Each 1 (2 tbsp juice + segments) $2.99
  • Organic Meyer Lemons 1 (1 tbsp juice, optional but great) $6.29
  • Green Onions 2, sliced $1.50
  • Coarse black pepper 1 1/2 tsp
  • Kroger® Fat Free Reduced Sodium Beef Broth (32 oz) 1/3 cup $2.49
  • Butter 1–2 tbsp
  • Olive oil 1 tbsp
  • Dijon mustard 1 tsp
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the salad: toss cabbage, green onions, orange segments, 2 tbsp orange juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add 1 tbsp Meyer lemon juice if using. Set aside.
  2. Pat sirloin dry; salt well. Press 1 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper onto the surface (both sides).
  3. Heat skillet over medium-high. Add a small film of oil if needed. Sear steak 4–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) to desired doneness. Rest 5–10 minutes.
  4. Pan sauce: lower heat to medium. Add beef broth and scrape browned bits. Whisk in Dijon; simmer 1–2 minutes. Off heat, swirl in butter.
  5. Slice steak against the grain. Serve with orange-cabbage salad and spoon sauce over the steak.

Health notes: ~650–900 kcal/serving depending on steak size and butter. Increase salad portion and reduce butter to lighten.

Drink pairing: Washington Cabernet Sauvignon or Bordeaux-style blend. If you like peppery notes, choose WA Syrah.

  2. Grill tri-tip 5–7 minutes per side (then move to indirect heat if thick) until desired doneness (130–135°F for medium-rare). Rest 10 minutes.
  3. While steak rests, cook mushrooms + onions on the stove in a skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Sauté 8–10 minutes until browned; add garlic for the last 30 seconds if using.
