Recipe Questions & Answers

How do I achieve medium-rare steak in this dish?

Roast the steaks at 425°F and flip halfway through after 12-15 minutes. Aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) and let them rest before serving.

Can I substitute the green beans with other vegetables?

Yes, asparagus or broccoli are great alternatives that roast well alongside the steak and mashed potatoes.

What is the best potato to use for the mash?

Yukon gold potatoes are ideal for creamy mashed potatoes due to their smooth texture and buttery flavor.

How can I make the mashed potatoes dairy-free?

Replace the butter and cream with plant-based alternatives such as vegan butter and non-dairy milk.

What seasoning enhances the steak flavor most effectively?

A mix of smoked paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper brings out a rich, smoky aroma and depth.

Is it necessary to broil the steaks at the end?

Broiling for 2 minutes adds a nice browned crust, but it’s optional if the steaks have already reached desired doneness.
