Bavette Steak & Roasted Garlic Pan Sauce
with Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Milk
Serious about steak? Our chefs are, too. That’s why they took an already-luxurious cut—bavette steak—to the next level by topping it with an equally luxurious pan sauce. Here, roasted garlic and rich beef demi-glace mingle with the fond (aka the crispy bits and drippings left by the seared steak) to create a condiment that you’ll want to drizzle over just about everything. Speaking of delicious things to drizzle with sauce, we’re serving up sides of chive-flecked mashed potatoes and crisp roasted Brussels sprouts.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel garlic; place whole clove in the center of a small piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cinch into a packet. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Thinly slice chives.
• Place garlic foil packet on a baking sheet. • Roast on middle rack for 10 minutes, then add Brussels sprouts to same sheet. Carefully toss with a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Return to middle rack until garlic is softened and Brussels sprouts are browned and tender, 15-20 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 15-20 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. Mash until smooth. Stir in sour cream, half the chives, salt, and pepper. Add reserved potato cooking liquid a splash at a time as needed until potatoes are creamy. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While potatoes cook, pat steak* very dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.
• Once garlic is done, carefully transfer to a cutting board and mash with a fork until smooth. • Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for steak over medium-high heat. Add garlic (start with half and add more if desired); cook for 30 seconds. Stir in demi-glace and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4). Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat. • Stir in another 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and any resting juices from steak until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice steak against the grain. • Divide mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and steak between plates. Top steak and mashed potatoes with sauce. Garnish with remaining chives and serve.
Steak is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very good but you're seriously gonna put roasted garlic in the name of the dish and send ONE SINGLE CLOVE OF GARLIC???? I put like eight of my own cloves in and the sauce packet still completely overwhelmed the garlic flavor. It was still good though, just either commit to the garlic and put it in the sauce concentrate or forget it. Also roasting peeled garlic doesn't work. Half of the clove gets dried out and becomes unusable. You have to roast it in the peel.
The steak was extremely tender, I ended up using the steak for a burrito and used the potatoes in the burrito, then used the brussels for extra veg on the next night. Absolutely delicious. I would love to see this bavette steak in a taco themed box
The meal was delicious. I liked the idea of how to roast the garlic. I also had minced garlic and added to the mashed potatoes.
Roasting the garlic in the tin foil was a total disaster. Instead I used a ramekin, put some garlic cloves in it and filled the ramekin with olive oil until the garlic was pretty much covered and let it roast in the oven until golden brown. This was a much better way to do it.
The steak was to die for. I think the rest of it could have used more sauce or spicing.
Very tasty. I had never roasted garlic like that before, it's always cool to discover new tricks!
Very good flavor, easy to make as well! Prep took a little longer than 5 minutes, but worth it in the end!
Combined this with the pork chops for a dinner party and it was a hit. The ingredients are so fresh and everything comes together so nicely.
This has been one of our favorites so far! So delicious
This was really good! However, I am concerned about saturated fat levels in meals as my doctor told me to reduce. Hoping the fit and wholesome meals are equally good.
