Simple meal proving not everything has to be complicated

 

Ingredients:

• 2 steaks
• 3 red potatoes
• 1/2 med size parsnip
• 4 med size shallots
• Balsamic vinegar
• Salt, pepper and garlic powder
• Butter
• Coconut milk
• Coconut oil

Instructions:

• Skin and rough chop the potatoes drop in pot of water
• Skin and finely chop parsnip and drop in with potatoes
• Cook at med heat for 15-20 until parsnips and potatoes are soft to fork.
• While potatoes cooking:
• Finely cut the shallots into ribbons.
• Put in pan with tablespoon coconut oil.
• Cook a med until starting to become clear.
• Add in balsamic to cover and continue cooking until balsamic reduces to thick glaze and remove from heat.
• The timing should have the potatoes coming off the stove while the balsamic is still reducing.
• Place steaks lightly salted and peppered onto pan on the burner you took potatoes off. Cook 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness. I shoot for med-rare.
• While steak is cooking:
• Drain water from potatoes
• Mash with butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Add a little coconut milk just enough to add some moisture to the mashed potatoes.
• Put steak on plate let sit for 5 minutes while you place the mashed potatoes on the plate and drizzle the balsamic glazed shallots over the potatoes.
