Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Halve potatoes lengthwise. Strip rosemary leaves from stems and chop leaves. Halve, peel and mince half the shallot (use whole shallot for 4 servings). Slice garlic.
- On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with a large drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of chopped rosemary, pepper and a few big pinches of salt. Roast on top rack until tender and lightly crisped, 20-25 minutes.
- On a second baking sheet, toss green beans and garlic with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. After potatoes have roasted for 10 minutes, place green beans on middle rack. Roast until tender, 12-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat steak dry with paper towels and season generously all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned but not cooked through, 3-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; wipe out pan. Transfer steak to the sheet with green beans and roast until desired doneness, 4-7 minutes. (If green beans finish first, remove them and continue roasting steak.) Let steak rest.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add minced shallot and a pinch of remaining chopped rosemary. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Stir in ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings), half the balsamic vinegar (all for 4), stock concentrate and fig jam. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice steak against the grain. Divide between plates with potatoes and green beans. Top steak with sauce.
Recipe Tips
For even cooking, let the steak come to room temperature before searing.
Adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to your taste-more for tanginess, less for sweetness.
