My husband and I attended a cooking demonstration by Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons at the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show in DC last year. 

I am a huge Steak and Potato girl so this recipe is our version of Tom’s Pan-Roasted Sirloin out of his book “Thnk Like a Chef” with my mashed potatoes:

Steak:

1 tbsp peanut oil

1 14-ounce sirloin steak 1 1/2 – 2 inches thck

Salt

Pepper

Thyme

Rosemary

2 tbsp butter

Williams Sonoma Chardonnay Sea Salt

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat

Pat the steak dry and cut into 2 or 3 pieces

Mix the seasoning together and coat the steaks in the seasoning 

Sear each side of the steaks for 2 mins each to make a crispy crust on each steak

Add the butter to the skillet

Continue cooking for another 15 mins for medium rare, turning each side every couple of minutes and basting with the browning butter

Remove the steaks and allow them to rest for 10 minutes

Sprinkle the Chardonnay Salt on top and Serve

Mashed Potatoes:

6 Potatoes

Soy Milk

Butter

Salt

Colby Jack Cheese

Wash and peel potatoes

Boil until soft

Drain water

Add milk, butter, salt, and cheese (amounts vary depending how creamy you like it)

Hand mash to your desired creaminess
