Steak Diane and Red Roasted Potatoes

This weekend Jon made his version of steak diane and I made red roasted potatoes. It was pretty delicious.

For the steaks you need:

2 steaks (we got top sirloin about 4.5 ounces each)
olive oil
sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 tablespoons parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons green onions
2 tablespoons butter
1 1.2 tablespoons shallots
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt to taste
pepper to taste
red wine / cognac (optional)

For the potatoes we used:

4 red potatoes
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 teaspoons rosemary
olive oil

 So first of all I greased the bottom of a pan with olive oil and mixed up about a tablespoon of minced garlic, teaspoon of garlic salt, and two teaspoons of rosemary. I like a lot of garlic though. Then I cut four red potatoes in half and then halved again. Rinsed them off, tossed them in the spices and put them in the pan. I set the oven to 400 degrees. I popped them in and set the timer to 35 minutes. I was suppose to check them periodically and toss them. I totally forgot to do that until about 5 minutes before they were done. They got a little too done on one side so try to remember to check them.

 Jon chopped up about a tablespoon and a half each of parsley, shallots, and the tops of green onions. We had almost a cup of mushrooms. In retrospect, add more mushrooms. The mushrooms turned out awesome. Go crazy with the mushrooms.

 He took two steaks and seasoned them lightly with salt and pepper.

 We added a tablespoon of butter to the pan. When it was melted he added the steaks and cooked them for 2 minutes on each side. He says "Don't move the steaks while they are cooking!"

 Then he stuck them in the fridge.

 While they were in the fridge (so they didn't overcook) he added another tablespoon of butter to the pan and then threw in the green onions, shallots, and mushrooms.

 He cooked them for around a minute and then added 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and a teaspoon of dijon mustard.

 He tried to get all fancy and flip the mushrooms in the pan. It went mostly well.

 Then he added a few more mushrooms to make up for the lost ones.  Then added the steaks back into the pan and cooked to desired doneness. Our steaks got a little too done.

 Then he added a tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of cream. Then he put in a tablespoon of wine and really wanted it to catch on fire. It would not. Oh well. Maybe next time. He had intended to use cognac and make flames for the coolness factor but it's Sunday and the liquor store was closed.

 So I finally remembered I had potatoes in the oven and turned them and added a little more olive oil and cooked them for the last 5 minutes. Then we pulled everything off, topped it with the parsley, ate it and it was delicious.
