Method

Steak Bites

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef tenderloin tips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Ensure that the pieces are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef tenderloin tips for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let them rest.

Balsamic Reduction

  1. 3

    Make the Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until it thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Flat Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and slice the potatoes into flat fries (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 5

    Cook the Fries

    Toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and paprika. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, lay down the flat fries, top with the seared steak bites, and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Finish by garnishing with fresh micro greens.
