with Brussels Sprouts Amandine & Mashed Sweet Potatoes

By Recipe0 System

If nothing says “date night” like a juicy steak, then this dish is the equivalent of getting down on one knee. Pan-seared, pepper-crusted steaks are topped with a chive-flecked butter (cue the swoons). But it’s not just any pepper, and it’s not just any steak: Here, freshly cracked peppercorns provide a spicy, crunchy coating for melt-in-your-mouth beef tenderloin. On the side, there’s crispy Brussels sprouts with toasty almonds, plus creamy mashed sweet potatoes. No matter who you cook this for, we have a good feeling they’ll be quite smitten.

Instructions

6 steps

1

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring 3 TBSP butter (6 TBSP for 4 servings) to room temperature. Wash and dry produce.

Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

Drain and return sweet potatoes to pot.

Keep covered off heat until ready to mash.
2

While sweet potatoes cook, trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.

Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 18-22 minutes.
3

Meanwhile, thinly slice chives. Place peppercorns in a zip-close bag and crush with a heavy-bottomed pan or rolling pin; pour onto a plate and spread into an even layer.

Pat beef* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt. Press both sides of beef into crushed peppercorns to evenly coat. TIP: For a milder flavor, sprinkle beef with peppercorns instead.
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook almost to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side.

Add stock concentrate and 2 TBSP water (3 TBSP for 4 servings). Simmer until sauce has thickened and beef reaches desired doneness, 1-2 minutes more. Turn beef to coat, then transfer everything to a shallow dish.
5

Mash drained sweet potatoes until smooth. (TIP: If sweet potatoes have cooled, mash over medium-low heat.) Stir in sour cream and 1 TBSP softened butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until combined. Season generously with salt and pepper.
6

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine remaining 2 TBSP softened butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings), 1 tsp chives (2 tsp for 4), salt, and pepper. TIP: If butter is still cold, microwave 5-10 seconds.

Divide beef, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts between plates. Sprinkle Brussels sprouts with almonds. Top beef with chive butter. Garnish with remaining chives and serve.

Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145º.
