- Milk
A totally real, verified fact that we just made up: People who cook fancier weeknight dinners are more likely to receive a compliment from a stranger, meet their celebrity crush, and/or win the lottery. They’re also guaranteed to be rewarded with a delicious, steakhouse-quality meal without leaving the comforts of their own kitchen. Case in point: this seared bavette steak that’s drizzled in a deluxe, red wine vinegar-spiked shallot pan sauce with creamy mashed potatoes and a heap of roasted green beans.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Halve and peel shallot; finely chop one half (save the rest for another use).
• Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 12-15 minutes. • Drain and return potatoes to pot; mash with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, trim green beans if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until green beans are tender, 10-12 minutes.
• While green beans roast, pat steak* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a large 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.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Add chopped shallot; cook, stirring, until softened, 1-2 minutes. • Pour in half the vinegar (all for 4 servings). Simmer until reduced by half, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4). Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes more. Turn off heat. • Stir in sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice steak against the grain. • Divide steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans between plates. Top steak with sauce and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Gourmet for real! Truly tasted like something from a 5 star restaurant! Husband was not big on the shallot sauce but I loved it! (I love shallots and onions!) it was a very robust flavor. If you enjoy more of a meat flavor, I would recommend not putting the sauce on the steak and just putting it on the potatoes or leaving it off.
This was the first meal we received & cooked from Hello Fresh. Everyone enjoyed a meal sitting down around table as we came in from work. The effort & clean up was worth it to have a dinner with fresh ingredients. We will order this one again. Tip for this recipe: Go ahead & prepare all of the shallot & add some to the mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Tasted wonderful but wished the portions were larger. The amount given is not enough for my husband and I. I used some of the sour cream that was meant for the sauce and added it to the mashed potatoes and it was much better. Without it, it's a bit bland/dry.
We like our steaks well done, so I followed the recipe and then after slicing put them back on for 1 minute per side to brown, it was perfect! The sauce is to die for!
Each of the steaks were somewhat "tough"..other than that the flavors were good. The Bavette Steak & Shallot Sauce was a bit "sparse" for two...particularly the potatoes and beans.
The steak and sauce was great as well as the green beans, but the mashed potatoes needed some more flavor but was still good.
The cut of steak is great and super tender. The shallot cream sauce was very loud so I'd recommend using even less than the recipe suggests of the red wine vinegar.
Excellent! Steak was very tender. The shallot sauce tasted a little like french onion dip. Very tasty on the meat.
Easy to cook, steak is very tender. Green beans very fresh and tasty.
I can eat the shallot sauce with a spoon. I coat everything in it and crave it after. 10/10 would recommend.
