From the Test Kitchen

To give this dish a sophisticated lift, we’re dolloping a rich, flavorful compound butter (simply butter combined with capers) onto savory pan-seared steaks. Sides of mashed potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts round out the plate on a comforting note.

1 Prepare the ingredients:

Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise. Roughly chop the capers

2 Cook & mash the potatoes:

Add the diced potatoes and chopped garlic to the pot of boiling water and cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the crème fraîche or fromage blanc and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

3 Roast the brussels sprouts:

While the potatoes cook, place the halved brussels sprouts on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer.

Cook, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
