How To Make Bavette Steak & Roasted Garlic Pan Sauce with Mashed Potatoes & Asparagus

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces Yukon Gold Potatoes
• ¼ ounce Chives
• 6 ounces Asparagus
• 1 clove Garlic
• 4 tablespoons Sour Cream
• 10 ounces Bavette Steak
• 1 unit Beef Demi-Glace
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions:

1. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 400 degrees F.
2. Wash and dry all the produce. Dice the potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Thinly slice the chives. Trim the woody ends from the asparagus.
3. Peel the garlic clove and place it in a small piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap it up into a packet.
4. Place the foil packet with garlic on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Then, add the asparagus to the same sheet. Toss it with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Return it to the oven for another 10-12 minutes until the garlic is soft and the asparagus is browned.
5. Meanwhile, place the diced potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the potatoes.
6. Return the potatoes to the pot and mash until smooth. Stir in the sour cream, half of the chives, salt, and pepper. Add the reserved cooking liquid bit by bit until creamy. Keep covered off heat.
7. While the potatoes cook, pat the steak dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat some oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 5-7 minutes on each side based on how you like it. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
8. Once the garlic is done, mash it with a fork. In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the demi-glace and ¼ cup of water. Simmer until slightly thickened for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in another tablespoon of butter and any juices from the steak. Season with salt and pepper.
9. Slice the steak against the grain. Divide the potatoes, asparagus, and steak onto plates. Pour the sauce over the steak and potatoes. Garnish with the remaining chives before serving.
