From the Test Kitchen

To elevate classic steak and potatoes, we’re dolloping a soft, spicy compound butter onto the seared steaks and mashing creamy mascarpone cheese into the potatoes. Tender sauteed or grilled zucchini rounds out the meal.

2 Cook & mash the potatoes:

Add the diced potatoes and smashed garlic to the pot of boiling water and cook 14 to 16 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.

STOVE: Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a medium pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot.

Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
GRILL: Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil on both sides. Grill the seasoned steak 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.

Turn off the heat.
GRILL: Place the quartered zucchini in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat. Grill 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until softened. Transfer to a cutting board. Carefully cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces.

5 Finish & serve your dish:

To the bowl of softened butter, add as much of the hot sauce as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Stir to thoroughly combine. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steak; thinly slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced steak with the mashed potatoes and cooked zucchini. Top the steak with the spicy butter. Enjoy!
