Case in point: this seared bavette steak that’s drizzled in a deluxe, sherry vinegar-spiked pan sauce with crispy, cheesy potato rounds and a heap of roasted green beans.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Slice potatoes into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Trim green beans if necessary. Halve and peel shallot; finely chop half (save the rest for another use).
• Lightly oil a baking sheet. • In a large bowl, combine potatoes, garlic powder, 2 TBSP olive oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings), and a couple big pinches of salt and pepper; toss until potatoes are completely coated. • Arrange potatoes on prepared sheet into clusters (about six slightly overlapping slices each). (For 4, arrange any remaining potatoes on one side of a second baking sheet; roast on middle and top racks.) • Roast on middle rack for 12 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
• Meanwhile, toss green beans on a second baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, toss green beans on opposite side of sheet from remaining potatoes; roast on top rack.) • Once potatoes have roasted 12 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan. • Return potatoes to middle rack and place green beans on top rack. Roast until potatoes and green beans are tender and cheese is lightly browned, 10-12 minutes more.
• While veggies 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 steak to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for steak over medium heat. Add chopped shallot and 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, potato clusters, and green beans between plates. Top steak with sauce and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: The sherry shallot sauce consistently earns rave reviews as the standout element that elevates the entire meal. Many found the bavette steak flavorful, though some wanted less vinegar in the sauce or salad dressing.
- Ease of prep: Most found this meal straightforward to prepare, though some noted it takes longer than expected. The potato slicing and arranging requires extra time but creates an impressive presentation.
- Suggestions: Cook steaks longer than the suggested 5-7 minutes per side for proper doneness. Consider substituting butter for sour cream in the sauce, and add extra seasoning to the potatoes for more flavor.
- Portions: Many felt the steak portions were too small for a premium meal, especially given the generous amount of potatoes.
- Meat quality: The bavette cut divided opinions — while some loved its flavor, many found it tough, chewy, or fatty compared to other cuts.
Reviews from our home cooks
The sherry shallot sauce and the sherry vinegarette were so yummy! Even my 3-year-old devoured the steak with sherry shallot sauce. The bavette steak had good flavor, but it's not a cut we would normally buy, and it was a little chewy. The roasted potatoes had a nice crunch and flavor.
Really enjoyed the Potato Clusters! I have to work on getting the Steak right but it turned out really well. The Sherry Shallot sauce tastes really good on the green beans as well!
Glace. Super meal. The potatoes were great clustered with parmesan and the roasted green beans were delicious. The steak tasted so good with the shallot sauce. My husband really enjoyed it.
The steak was good, but I loved the sherry shallot sauce! All the sauces, dressings, and dips that the various meals have me cooking up are one if my favorite things about them! They add so much flavor to the food! I only gave 3 stars though because too many of the meals have either golden potatoes or green beans as the sides, sometimes (like this meal here) their both included. More variety is needed with the sides.
Potato clusters were great, the bavette steak was great but way too much sherry vinegar along with unclear instructions on the amount to use. It was overpowering.
Where has Bavette been all my life!!! Now that I know about this cut of beef, I will be sure to get more. The sherry shallot sauce hit it out of the park.
It was okay. The potatoes were delicious, the steak and sherry shallot nice, though to me the sauce almost reminded me of like meatballs and gravy Salisbury steak type sauce once done, but it was still good. The salad and dressing was okay though I received spinach only and not mixed greens.
3rd try of the bavette steak recipes. sauces all the bomb, but the meat very fatty and tough. i trimmed a lot of fat and used a meat tenderizer mallet and this 3rd bavette steak meal was a lot better. you should add a side note to recipes to pound meat with a mallet prior to cooking, or improve the quality of the meat.
Fun way to present potatoes with tender rare beef and roasted green beans. The sauce with sherry vinegar and shallots boosted all the flavors.
I wish I could give this 100 stars. It is absolute perfection...and the sherry shallot sauce is better than at any of the fanciest steak restaurants I have been to. Will definitely be making this again
