Instructions

Make Crostini
1

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Slice baguette crosswise into 8 rounds (16 rounds for 4); spread out on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast on top rack until golden brown, 5-10 minutes. (For 4, if necessary, divide rounds between two baking sheets; toast on top and middle racks.) (Reserve sheet for Step 5.) • Place ricotta in a small bowl; whisk in a large drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread ricotta onto toasted baguette rounds; drizzle with honey and sprinkle with walnuts. • Serve with your favorite beverage for snacking while you prepare the rest of the meal. TIP: Prefer to serve the crostini with the main course? Toast now and assemble right before serving!

Prep
2

• Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Strip rosemary leaves from stems; mince leaves until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4 servings). Halve, peel, and mince shallot until you have 2 TBSP (3 TBSP for 4).

Make Mashed Potatoes
3

• Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. • Melt 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in empty pot used for potatoes over medium heat. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add drained potatoes and sour cream; mash until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Top with Parmesan.

Toast Panko
4

• While potatoes cook, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add panko; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Wipe out pan.

Roast Brussels Sprouts
5

• Toss Brussels sprouts on sheet used for crostini with a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and crispy, 15-20 minutes. • Carefully transfer to bowl with toasted panko; toss to combine. Season with half the minced rosemary, salt, and pepper.

Cook Beef
6

• While Brussels sprouts roast, pat beef* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; remove from pan and set aside to rest for at least 5 minutes. Wipe out pan.

Make Sauce & Serve
7

• Melt 1 TBSP butter in same pan over medium heat. Add minced shallot; cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate, jam, vinegar, 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings), any resting juices from beef, and remaining minced rosemary to taste. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and beef between plates. Top beef with sauce and serve. • Serve cheesecakes for dessert.

Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
