Cook Within: When slicing steak, we recommend finding the parallel lines of muscle fiber running down the meat (called the grain), and slicing perpendicular to them, cutting against the grain. This makes sliced steak easier to chew, since muscle fibers are already broken up for you. Red potatoes were first cultivated in Peru and are considered “new” potatoes since they’re harvested

Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and halve onion. Slice halves into thin strips like sticks (julienne). Quarter potatoes. Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle. Rinse steaks, pat dry, and season with ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper.

Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in pan used for steaks over: medium heat. Add onions and cook 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly car- amelized.

Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Taste and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

Plate the Dish: Cut toast into wedges and place on a plate. Slice steaks against grain into ½” slices and serve on top of red onion gravy. Place a serving of smashed red potatoes next to steak and garnish with green onions. recipe–it has bigger grains and is easier to pinch than table salt, allowing more control over flavor. If using regular table salt, reduce measured amounts • Save your fingers from accidental scalding! Use a pair of tongs to test potatoes’ doneness as opposed to sticking a fork in hot water. If tongs crush potatoes easily, the recipe before you start–we promise it will be time • Place a colander in the sink
