Red Wine Braised Shallots

Kale Caesar

Fries

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Steak

    Season the California striploin with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.

Lemon Aioli Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Lemon Aioli

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.

Beef Jus Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Beef Jus

    In a saucepan, combine beef stock, red wine, and thyme. Simmer for about 20 minutes until reduced by half. Strain and set aside.

Shallots Preparation

  1. 4

    Braised Shallots

    In a skillet, melt butter and add shallots. Pour in red wine and simmer until shallots are tender and the sauce is reduced.

Kale Caesar Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Kale Caesar

    In a large bowl, combine chopped kale, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat and top with croutons.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Fries

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the cut potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, arrange the sliced steak alongside the fries. Drizzle with beef jus and top with braised shallots. Serve with a side of kale Caesar and lemon aioli.
