Steaks & Tomatillo Sour Cream
with Zucchini, Peppers & Roasted Potatoes
45 MIN
4 Servings
From the Test Kitchen
This steakhouse-style recipe gets a bold lift in two ways: an irresistibly creamy tomatillo-poblano sauce that tops the steaks and the smoky spice blend (which stars two kinds of paprika) we’re using to coat the roasted potatoes served underneath. It’s all complete with the duo of sautéed veggies that’s folded into the smoky potatoes.

instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Medium dice the zucchini. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then large dice. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. In a bowl, combine the diced peppers, chopped garlic, and sliced white bottoms of the scallions. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and tomatillo sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
2
Roast the potatoes
Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the diced potatoes on the foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Toss to thoroughly coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 20 to 22 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Carefully transfer to a large bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm.
3
Cook the steaks
Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on all sides. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook, turning occasionally, 8 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; 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.
4
Cook the vegetables
In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced zucchini in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the prepared pepper mixture and vinegar (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any fond, 4 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are browned and softened. Turn off the heat.
5
Finish & serve your dish
To the bowl of roasted potatoes, add the cooked vegetables and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; thinly slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the finished vegetables topped with the sliced steaks and tomatillo sour cream. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
