Taverna Steak & Dilly Green Beans
with Roasted Veggies & Tzatziki
- Milk
This week, we’re taking meat and potatoes on a 30-minute pleasure cruise to the Mediterranean with a spice-rubbed steak you’ll sear to a deep brown in the pan, then finish with butter. Meanwhile, two sheets of veggies are roasting in the oven: one with dill-sprinkled potato wedges—destined for crispy outsides and creamy insides—and the other with oregano-kissed zucchini and red onion. You’ll plate up all of this deliciousness, then drizzle with creamy, tangy cucumber yogurt sauce (aka tzatziki), packed with garlic, fresh lemon juice and zest, and even more herbaceous dill.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Pick and roughly chop fronds from dill. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Halve and peel onion; slice into ½-inch-thick wedges.
Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces or trim green beans if necessary. (Save potatoes for another use.)
• Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the dill, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. • Toss zucchini and onion wedges on a separate baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Roast on middle rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
Swap in broccoli or green beans for potatoes; roast 15-20 minutes for broccoli or 12-15 minutes for green beans.
• While veggies roast, trim and finely dice cucumber. Zest and quarter lemon. Peel and mince or grate garlic.
• Pat steak* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the Mediterranean Spice Blend (all for 4 servings). TIP: For perfect timing, start steak when potatoes have 10-12 minutes left! • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. (If steak is browning too quickly, lower heat!) • Add 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) to pan; stir until melted, then spoon over steak until coated, 10-15 seconds. • Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
• While steak rests, in a small bowl, combine cucumber, lemon zest, yogurt, crème fraîche, remaining dill, juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), and as much garlic as you like. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice steak against the grain. • Divide steak, potato wedges, and zucchini-onion jumble between plates. Serve with remaining lemon wedges and tzatziki on the side.
Steak is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This meal was very good; however, the steak was very tough. Most meals we have had which included steak have been delicious but this steak did not turn out well.
This was really delicious. I appreciated how HelloFresh let us add extra sides to the order to make the meal more filling. That was my biggest compliant from when i previously ordered HelloFresh, that I always had to add extra ingredients to the meal in order to get filled up.
I left out dill and cucumber because I do not like them at all. It was very good without them. We had this for Valentine's Day, very nice meal.
This had good flavor and was very satisfying. I do wish you'd include tips for possibly using an air fryer when including roasted potatoes/chips.
Took at least an hour to prep but was yummy once it was done.
Liked the flavors but meat had a lot of gristle. The 2 pieces were different thicknesses which made cooking them evenly difficult.
The steak was okay. I get that there wasn't an upcharge but they were kinda small...thin.
Zucchini is ok but not my favorite at all. Brocolli or green beans would have been preferred.
For the steak, 1 was large & 1 was tiny. Almost round, hard to cook med well.
Really enjoyed this meal. Love trying all these different recipes I would have never thought of or had time to experiment with all the normal prep and getting all the ingredients.
