Steak dinner as you know it has officially been fancified with French flavors. Le menu: Seared bavette drizzled with a savory-sweet pan sauce. Roasted, Herbs de Provence-scented fingerlings. Tender Brussels sprouts and tangy, balsamic-roasted shallots.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounce Fingerling Potatoes

  • 1 tbsp Herbes de Provence

  • 1 Shallot

  • 5 tsp Balsamic Vinegar

  • 8 oz Brussels Sprouts

  • 10 oz Bavette Steak

  • 1 oz Dried Cherries

  • 2 tbsp Cherry Preserves

  • Beef Demi-Glace

Directions

  • Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Halve potatoes lengthwise. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, 1 tsp Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Arrange potatoes cut sides down.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Toss on a piece of foil with a drizzle of olive oil, half the vinegar (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Cinch into a packet and place on sheet with potatoes. Roast on middle rack until tender, 20-25 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Toss on a second baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange cut sides down. Roast on top rack until tender and slightly crispy, 20-25 minutes.

  • While veggies roast, pat steak dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, adding 1 tablespoon butter to pan after flipping, 5-7 minutes per side. Turn off heat. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add cherries and cook until slightly softened, 30 seconds. Stir in preserves, demi-glace, remaining vinegar, 1/4 cup water, and any resting juices from steak. Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter. Season with pepper.

  • Toss together roasted Brussels sprouts and shallot (along with any juices). Thinly slice steak against the grain. Divide veggies, steak, and potatoes between plates. Top steak with sauce and serve.
