Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim, peel and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms. Mince garlic. Thinly slice scallions, separating whites and greens.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper on one side of a baking sheet. Toss carrots with olive oil, salt and pepper on the other side. Roast on top rack until golden and crispy, 20-25 minutes.
- While vegetables roast, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and slightly crisp, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out pan.
- Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and scallion whites; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in ¼ cup water and beef stock concentrate. Bring to a simmer, then add mushrooms and any resting juices from steak. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice steak against the grain. Divide steak, potatoes and carrots among plates. Spoon sauce over steak. Garnish with scallion greens.
Recipe Tips
For best results, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
If you prefer your carrots with more caramelization, toss them with a bit of honey before roasting.
The sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated, but add the sour cream just before serving to prevent curdling.
FAQ
Can I use a different cut of steak?
Yes, you can substitute ranch steak with sirloin, ribeye or flank steak. Adjust cooking time based on thickness and desired doneness.
What can I use instead of sour cream?
Greek yogurt or crème fraîche work well as substitutes for sour cream in the sauce.
How do I know when the steak is done?
Use a meat thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium and 160°F for well-done. Let it rest after cooking.
