Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel carrots, then cut into 1/2-inch thick sticks. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- While carrots roast, peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to pot.
- Meanwhile, halve and peel onion, then thinly slice. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer half the caramelized onion to a small bowl for the sauce; leave the rest in the skillet for the mashed potatoes.
- Add butter to the skillet with the remaining caramelized onion. Add the cooked potatoes, sour cream, and Dijon mustard. Mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover to keep warm.
- Pat sirloin steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. In the same skillet (wipe clean if needed), heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are golden and have released their liquid, about 3-4 minutes. Add the reserved caramelized onions, beef demi-glace, and 1/4 cup water. Stir and simmer for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, and spoon the mushroom sauce over the steak.
