Cooking Steps
- Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, finely chop chives.
- Trim green beans.
- Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch slices.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on the almonds so they don't burn!) Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add green beans and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water to the same pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates, 4-5 min.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and half the shallots. Cook, stirring often, until shallots are tender and green beans are tender-crisp, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Transfer green beans to a large bowl, then cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, pat steak dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the same pan (from step 3), then steak. Sear until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.**
- Remove the pan from heat, then transfer steak to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked to desired doneness, 4-6 min.**
- When steak is done, transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil, then set aside to rest for 5 min.
- Meanwhile, mash cream and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter into potatoes until creamy.
- Stir in goat cheese and half the chives. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-low.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then remaining shallots. Cook, stirring often, until shallots soften, 3-4 min.
- Add blueberry jam, balsamic glaze, broth concentrate, 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water and 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper. (NOTE: Reference heat guide). Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Stir until melted, 1-2 min.
- Toss green beans with almonds.
- Thinly slice steak.
- Divide goat cheese mash, green bean almandine and steak between plates.
- Spoon blueberry-balsamic reduction over steak. Sprinkle with remaining chives.
