    From the Test Kitchen

    To melt atop seared steaks, you'll mix softened butter with spicy Calabrian chile paste (a specialty product made of fragrant red chiles from Calabria, a region in southern Italy) for a rich and vibrant heat. A hearty side of roasted potatoes and asparagus tossed with our herbaceous salsa verde rounds out this meal.

    Seared Steaks & Calabrian Chile Butter with Roasted Potatoes & Asparagus
    Title
    • 4 Steaks
    • 1 Red Onion
    • 1¼ lbs Potatoes
    • ¾ lb Asparagus
    • ½ oz Pickled Peppadew Peppers
    • ⅓ cup Salsa Verde
    • ¼ cup Grated Romano Cheese
    • 1 oz Salted Butter
    • 1½ tsps Calabrian Chile Paste
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Snap off and discard the tough, woody stem ends of the asparagus; cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces (keeping the pointed tips intact). Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Roughly chop the peppers.

    Roast the potatoes
    2 Roast the potatoes
    Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the diced potatoes on the foil; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 22 to 26 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
    Cook the steaks
    3 Cook the steaks

    Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on all sides. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook, turning occasionally, 6 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.

    *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this.
    Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, seafood or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

    In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the asparagus pieces and sliced onion in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a large bowl; add the roasted potatoes, chopped peppers, and salsa verde. Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    In a bowl, combine the softened butter and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Using a fork, mash until thoroughly combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced steaks with the finished vegetables. Top the steaks with the Calabrian chile butter. Garnish the vegetables with the cheese. Enjoy!
