If nothing says “date night” like a juicy steak, then this dish is the equivalent of getting down on one knee. Beef tenderloin is pan-seared until it’s perfectly tender and forms a delectable crust (cue the swoons). But it doesn’t stop there: A rich, buttery sauce flecked with freshly cracked black peppercorns amps up the savory notes in the beef. On the side, there’s delicately crisp green beans and roasted potatoes. No matter who you cook this for, we have a good feeling they’ll be quite smitten.

Instructions

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position (top and bottom positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim green beans if necessary. Halve, peel, and mince shallot until you have 2 TBSP. Place peppercorns in a zip-close bag; crush with a rolling pin or a heavy-bottomed pan. Thinly slice chives.

Roast Potatoes
2

• Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper. • Roast on top rack until lightly browned, 10 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).

Roast Green Beans
3

• Once potatoes are lightly browned, carefully push to one side of sheet. • Toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting and add green beans to a second sheet; roast on bottom rack.) • Return to oven until veggies are browned and tender, 10-15 minutes more.

Cook Beef
4

• While veggies roast, pat beef* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Wash out pan.

Make Sauce
5

• Melt 1 TBSP butter in same pan over medium heat. Add minced shallot and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 1 minute. • Add demi-glace, ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings), ½ tsp crushed peppercorns (1 tsp for 4), and any resting juices from beef. (Be sure to measure peppercorns.) Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Turn off heat. Stir in another 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and half the chives. Season with salt and more peppercorns if desired.

Serve
6

• Divide potatoes, green beans, and beef between plates. Top beef with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining chives and serve.
