Down Home Steak ’n’ Potatoes
Garlic Herb Butter, Mixed Greens & Creamy Mustard Sauce
- Milk
Remember speed dial? Speed dating? Speed skating? Well get ready for speed dinner–from box to plate in 15 minutes (or less!), and it’s no slouch. Lean, old-school, beefy steak is quick seared, then finished with garlic-herb butter and drizzled with a mustard cream sauce. It’s served with a side of buttery steamed potatoes, and a fresh mixed green salad. A real homey, robust, and fuss-free meal idea for any weeknight.

Reviews from our home cooks
Used the garlic butter in the potatoes when I mashed them instead of roasting. I also added sour cream and half and half. Very creamy. The mustard sauce was great on the steak and the meat was so tender and tasty. I added more mustard and probably would add more next time. I roasted carrots instead of having the salad. I used the salad as my lunch. It was a great traditional steak, potato, and vegetable meal.
Loved this one as well and I am NOT a steak and potatoes person at all. Very tender steak and the garlic butter was just awesome. Took about 15 minutes beginning to end. So easy even though I was tired that evening.
Steak was so tender and garlic butter made the potatoes amazing. Normally not a big salad person but I ate the whole thing and seconds. Great meal
The garlic herb butter on the potatoes and steaks is yummy! The creamy sauce was delicious on both the steak and potatoes. We grilled the steaks, the meat is so tender.
This has become our favorite; never had ranch steak before Hello Fresh and had no idea chuck would be tender and flavorful; I wish I could order it through the HF marketplace. We appreciate the quality of the deep green salad greens, but there are too many shredded carrots. I suggest cooking and mashing them with the potatoes or sauteeing them with the meat. The garlic herb butter has a good flavor, as does the cream sauce, but perhaps two high fat sauces isn't health conscious. You often recommend wiping out the pan after sauteeing meat or poultry and before making sauce. NO NO NO! I thought every good cook knew to use the pan drippings as a base for sauce; I'm not about to wipe out all that flavor! Overall excellent, we really like this and will order it every time we can.
Steak came out good and I like the garlic herb butter. I chose to air fry the potatoes rather than microwave them, also came out good with additional seasoning. That sauce though? Ew. No. I didn't put it on the plate.
The meat and potatoes were great. The steak is thin though so 3 minutes each side made it almost medium well. The only thing I didn't like was the mixed greens but only because it was too bitter tasting for me. I still ate it though since I needed my greens. Overall the meal was great.
Loved the quality of this steak. It paired very well with the included sides, which were also quick and easy to prepare. We seared the steak on our portable charcoal grill, which paired with the garlic herb butter, was above and beyond.
I made the potatoes mashed so my daughter would eat them but otherwise did as the recipe required and WOW!! So tasty and delicious. I was concerned I wouldn't like the greens much but it was great. The steak was awesome and the sauce for it was amazing.
Amazing recipe. Can't believe such a delicious meal of steak, potatoes and salad, all with amazing flavors and high quality. was on our table in such a short prep time. Fantastic.
