Ingredients
- 1½ lb beef sirloin steaks
- 1¼ lb baby potatoes
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
Steps
- Cut potatoes in half, boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes, then drain and smash with 2 tablespoons butter, milk, minced garlic, and black pepper.
- Trim green beans and toss with olive oil and salt, then roast in a 400°F oven or grill alongside steaks for 10 minutes until tender.
- Pat steaks dry and season generously with black pepper and salt, then grill over medium-high heat or pan-sear in a skillet with 2 tablespoons butter until they reach 145°F, about 5 minutes per side, then rest 3 minutes.
- Divide steaks, potatoes, and green beans among 4 plates and serve hot.
- Picky eaters can have the steak, potatoes, and green beans plain, with no pepper or garlic.
- Make ahead: boil and smash the potatoes up to 2 days ahead, chill, and reheat with a splash of milk.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
