Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Halve potatoes lengthwise. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, 1 tsp Herbes de Provence (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt and pepper; arrange potatoes cut sides down.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice shallot. Toss on a piece of foil with a drizzle of olive oil, half the vinegar, salt and pepper. Cinch into a packet and place on sheet with potatoes. Roast on middle rack until tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Toss on a second baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Arrange cut sides down. Roast on top rack until tender and slightly crispy, 20-25 minutes.
- While veggies roast, pat steak dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, adding 1 TBSP butter to pan after flipping, 5-7 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add cherries and cook until slightly softened, 30 seconds. Stir in preserves, demi-glace, remaining vinegar, ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings) and any resting juices from steak. Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter. Season with pepper.
- Toss together roasted Brussels sprouts and shallot (along with any juices). Thinly slice steak against the grain. Divide veggies, steak and potatoes between plates. Top steak with sauce and serve.
Recipe Tips
Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, make sure they are cut side down and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
