Steak

Chianti Demi-Glaze Sauce

Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

Sautéed Greens

Method

Preparing the Steak

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Rub the choice sirloin steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

Making the Chianti Demi-Glaze Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same skillet used for the steak, add 2 tablespoons of butter and the finely chopped shallots. Sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

  2. 4

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in the Chianti wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let reduce by half.

  3. 5

    Add Beef Stock

    Add the beef stock and fresh thyme to the skillet. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and combined.

Making Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed russet potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add buttermilk, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Sautéing the Greens

  1. 8

    Sauté the Greens

    In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach or broccolini and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
