Sometimes we dress up the steak, and sometimes we let it shine on its own. (But not completely naked; that's against the law.) Here, we give it love with slightly sweet steak seasoning, the perfect match for its own meaty flavor. Served with brown butter mashed potatoes and roasted carrots, this meal has so much sweet-umami-nutty flavor going on, you won't believe it all fits on one plate. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board, peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
