Seared Steak with Vegetables and Puree

Step 1

Peel and chop 1 lb of potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While potatoes cook, slice the green bell pepper into strips. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the pepper until softened and lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.

Step 3

Pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt. Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in the same skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Mash the boiled potatoes with butter and a pinch of salt until smooth. If too thick, add a splash of water or milk.

Step 5

Slice the rested steak and serve with the potato puree and sautéed green peppers.
