    From the Test Kitchen

    To highlight the rich flavors of this dish, you’ll make a homemade steak sauce using classic ingredients like worcestershire, ketchup, vinegar, and more—all cooked in the reserved fond from the steaks for a savory boost. Sautéed carrots and mashed potatoes (which get extra richness from both sour cream and buttermilk) tie this hearty meal together.
