A simple yet elegant dinner featuring perfectly cooked steak, creamy mashed potatoes, and tender asparagus.
Ingredients
For the Steak
- 2 pieces steaks (your choice of cut)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mashed Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Asparagus
- 1 bunch asparagus
- Olive oil to drizzle
Instructions
Cooking the Steak
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Making the Mashed Potatoes
- While the steaks are cooking, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
Preparing the Asparagus
- Steam or roast the asparagus until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
Serving
- Slice the steak against the grain and serve with a scoop of mashed potatoes and asparagus.
- Spoon any pan juices over the steak if desired.
Notes
Let the steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking. Pat steaks dry to enhance browning. Use a potato masher for smooth mash. Adding olive oil to the asparagus enhances flavor. Utilize a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
