Instructions

step 1
Prepare the ingredients & start the sauce
Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Snap off and discard the tough, woody stem ends of the asparagus; halve crosswise. Quarter and deseed the lemon(s). In a bowl, whisk together the soy glaze, vinegar, broth concentrate, and 1/4 cup of water (or 1/2 cup for 4 servings).

step 2
Cook & mash the potatoes
Add the diced potatoes to the pot of boiling water. Cook 16 to 20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the sour cream 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. Cover to keep warm.

step 3
Cook & finish the asparagus
Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Transfer to a bowl. Add the juice of 2 lemon wedges (or 4 wedges for 4 servings); toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

step 4
Cook the steaks
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side 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; 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.

step 5
Finish the sauce & serve your dish
To the pan of reserved fond, add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook on medium-high, stirring constantly and scraping up any fond, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. (For a thicker consistency, continue cooking the sauce. For a thinner consistency, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to loosen). Turn off the heat and stir in the butter until melted and 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 mashed potatoes and finished asparagus. Top the steaks with the finished sauce. Serve the remaining lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
