Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 Steak 8oz each
  • 1 bunch Asparagus
  • 2 large Potatoes
Flavorings
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 sprig Rosemary
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
Cream Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Dry White grape juice
  • 1/2 Lemon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare potatoes: Wash, peel (optional), and dice. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Roast for 30-40 minutes.
  3. Prepare asparagus: Snap off tough ends. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast alongside potatoes for the last 15 minutes.
  4. Prepare steak: Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Add garlic and rosemary to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Baste steak with melted butter.
  7. Remove steak from skillet and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  8. Prepare Cream Sauce: Deglaze skillet with white grape juice, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce slightly.
  9. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly. Squeeze in lemon juice.
  10. Serve steak sliced over roasted potatoes and asparagus. Drizzle with cream sauce.

Notes

For a richer sauce, use bone-in ribeye steak and add a splash of red wine to the deglazing process.
