Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Quarter the potatoes and place them on the prepared sheet. Drizzle with about 2 teaspoons of olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast until golden and crisp, 20-25 minutes.
- While the potatoes roast, mince the garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the spinach to the pot and cook, stirring, until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the spinach and stir to combine. Pour in the milk and stir well. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan and Monterey Jack cheeses. Continue to simmer, stirring, until the sauce is creamy and thick, about 2 minutes more. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- Heat a large drizzle of olive oil (about 2 teaspoons) in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence. Place the steak in the hot pan and cook until nicely browned on the first side, 6-7 minutes. Flip and cook to your desired doneness, about 5-6 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the steak rests, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Coarsely chop the parsley leaves, discarding the stems. After removing the steak, add a drizzle of olive oil (about 1 teaspoon) to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the demi-glace, balsamic glaze and 2 tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Stir in half of the chopped parsley and the butter until melted. If the sauce seems too thick, add up to 1 tablespoon more water. Slice the rested steak against the grain.
- Divide the roasted potatoes and creamed spinach among plates. Top with sliced steak, drizzle with the balsamic sauce and garnish with the remaining parsley. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For the best sear, pat the steak very dry before seasoning.
Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
If the creamed spinach thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk to loosen it.
