This recipe will please not only the meat-and-potato lover in your house but will also please the cook. It comes together in just 30 minutes with minimal cleanup! We seared tender, juicy strip steaks in a hot cast-iron skillet, then made a fast pan sauce with mustard, wine and herbs. Mashed potatoes are kicked up with sour cream, horseradish and spinach for a stick-to-your-ribs side dish that's a cinch to prepare in the microwave.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups baby spinach
Two 1-inch thick New York strip steaks (about 13 ounces each)
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, minced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes and 2 tablespoons water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in the top. Microwave until the potatoes are tender and can be easily broken apart with a fork, about 15 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the plastic (watch out for hot steam) and add the sour cream, horseradish, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and some black pepper to the bowl and mash until creamy. Fold in the spinach until wilted and well combined.
  • Rub both sides of each steak with the garlic clove, then put the clove in a large cast-iron skillet. Season the steaks on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of black pepper.
  • Add the olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering. Add the steaks and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden-brown and no longer sticking to the pan, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue cooking until golden-brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F when inserted into the center for medium-rare. Remove the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Discard the garlic clove.
  • Meanwhile, turn off the heat and let the pan cool for about 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low and add the shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Dijon and thyme leaves until well combined. Pour in the white wine and simmer until thickened and reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted and silky.
  • Thinly slice the steaks crosswise and divide among plates. Spoon sauce over the steak and serve with the potatoes.

BASIC MEAT & POTATO DINNER



Basic Meat & Potato Dinner image

For babies 10 months and up. I found this on a website for making baby food. It is very easy and versitile to make. I love that I can use whatever I have on hand. I precook everything and just heat and mash or cube. I've used leftover mashed potatoes, pasta (cut up), chicken/turkey, ground turkey. **Because I precooked everything, I don't know the actual cook time, so it's just approximate.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Meat: Select a cut of meat that is suitable for braising or stewing, such as chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs. These cuts have a good amount of connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
  • Brown the Meat: Before braising or stewing, brown the meat in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. This creates a flavorful crust that seals in the juices and adds depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Incorporate a variety of vegetables into your dish for added flavor, texture, and nutrition. Common vegetables used in meat and potato dinners include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and peas.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will enhance the flavor of the meat, vegetables, and sauce.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Braising or stewing meat and potatoes is a low and slow cooking method that allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender. Aim for a cooking time of at least 1 hour, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.

Conclusion:

Meat and potato dinners are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a dish that suits your taste. Whether you prefer a hearty stew, a flavorful braise, or a simple skillet dinner, these recipes offer a delicious and satisfying meal.
