Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust oven racks to upper and middle positions and preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Halve fingerling potatoes lengthwise. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, Herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes cut side down.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice shallots. Place on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil and half the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil to create a sealed packet. Place packet on the same baking sheet with potatoes. Roast on the middle rack until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim and halve Brussels sprouts. On a separate baking sheet, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange cut side down and roast on the top rack until tender and slightly crispy, 15-20 minutes.
- Pat sirloin steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned on the first side, 4-7 minutes. Flip, add 1 tablespoon butter and cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes more. Remove steak from pan and let rest.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add dried cherries and cook until slightly softened, about 30 seconds. Stir in cherry preserves, beef demi-glace, ¼ cup water and remaining balsamic vinegar. Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat, stir in 1 tablespoon butter and any juices from the resting steak. Season with pepper.
- Toss together roasted Brussels sprouts and shallots (including any juices from the packet). Divide Brussels sprouts, potatoes and steak among plates. Spoon sauce over steak and serve.
Recipe Tips
For even cooking, let the steak come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before searing.
If you don’t have beef demi-glace, substitute with 1 teaspoon beef bouillon paste mixed with ¼ cup water.
Adjust roasting time for Brussels sprouts based on your preferred level of crispiness.
FAQ
Can I use a different cut of steak?
Yes, you can substitute sirloin with ribeye, strip steak or filet mignon. Adjust cooking time based on thickness.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

How do I store leftovers?
Store steak, potatoes and Brussels sprouts separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven.
