Balsamic Fig Beef Tenderloin
with Roasted Potatoes & Mixed Greens
- Milk
We’re big fans of pan sauces because they’re a simple way to add extra flavor to any dish. Here, fig jam, balsamic vinegar, onion, and fresh rosemary mingle with the fond—the crispy bits and drippings left by the chicken. The result is a condiment that you’ll want to drizzle all over your meat and potatoes before swiping up every bit of sweet and savory perfection.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces; toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• While potatoes roast, halve, peel, and mince onion until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). (Save the rest of the onion for another use.) Strip 1 tsp rosemary leaves from stems (2 tsp for 4); finely chop leaves. Halve lemon.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Lower heat under pan to medium.
**Swap in beef for chicken. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. **
• Add minced onion, chopped rosemary, and a drizzle of olive oil to same pan. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in vinegar and jam. Simmer until syrupy, 1 minute. • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Cook until thick and glossy, 2-3 minutes. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in a splash of water. • Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper.
• While sauce simmers, in a medium bowl, toss mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice chicken crosswise. • Divide chicken, potatoes, and salad between plates. Drizzle chicken with sauce and serve.
Slice beef against the grain.
