A meal shouldn't be all one thing; complexity and contrast is part of what delights about food. For example, this meal has the rugged mesquite steak, full of sweet, smoky intensity on a succulent sirloin. But it also has kale, the greenery of the hip and healthy. Here, it's cooked with butter and garnished with almonds, bringing it to new rich heights. And somewhere between manly man mesquite and hipster co-op kale, is the cheesy potatoes pressé, a middle ground between vegetable health and rich decadence. Balanced deliciousness is the best kind.

Potato slices may overflow cups, and there may be extra slices. Season cups again with a pinch of salt. -
