Customize It Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice potatoes into thin rounds.

    Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave, 3 minutes.

    While potatoes microwave, mince chives.

    Pat steaks dry, and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  2. 2

    Bake the Gratin

    Add cream base, garlic pepper, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper to bowl with potatoes and gently mix until combined.

    Transfer potato mixture to prepared casserole dish and top evenly with Parmesan. For best results, use a 2-cup casserole dish. Place casserole dish on prepared baking sheet to catch any drips.

    Bake in hot oven until golden brown, 18-22 minutes.

    While gratin bakes, cook steaks.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steaks

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil and steaks to hot pan and cook until browned and steaks reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.

    Remove steaks to a plate and tent with foil. Rest, at least 5 minutes. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Make the Bordelaise Sauce

    Return pan used to cook steaks to medium heat. Add demi-glace, 2 Tbsp. water, 1 tsp. tomato paste (if you have any left over, use as you please!), and red wine to hot pan. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir often until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner and swirl in butter. For a smoother texture, strain sauce through a wire-mesh strainer.
