Here I’ll show you the most irresistible way to make steak and mashed potatoes!<\/strong><\/p>\n Steak and mash is such an underrated pairing – especially when you add a dreamy sauce into the mix. The way the mash soaks in all the gorgeous flavours and wraps around each slice of juicy steak. UGH. You’re going to love this one. Follow me…<\/p>\n These are genuinely some of the most delicious mashed potatoes you’ll ever make, both in terms of texture and flavour. Here’s why:<\/em><\/p>\n I typically have these on the go as I make the steak and sauce. You could<\/em> make this ahead of time; it’ll just be slightly drier upon reheating.<\/p>\n Process shots: boil potatoes until knife tender (photo 1), drain and leave to steam for 1 minute (photo 2), warm butter and milk (photo 3), add potatoes (photo 4), mash then add Boursin (photo 5), mash until smooth (photo 6).<\/em><\/p>\n I know everyone likely has their own techniques with cooking steak, and there’s always debate around the optimum way to do it, but here are some tips that have personally helped me get the best out of steak:<\/p>\n Process shots: pat steak dry (photo 1), season (photo 2), fry (photo 3), flip then baste (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n I toyed around with a few different sauces to pair with the steak and mash, and landed on a creamy mushroom sauce. It’s so delicious that you could literally drink it from the pan, and it complements both the steak and mash so beautifully<\/strong>, really bringing everything together.<\/p>\n Using mushrooms in the sauce is a smart trick because they soak up all the excess flavour from the steak<\/strong>. After frying the steak, there will be fond in the pan. This is pure flavour, waiting to be used. As the mushrooms fry, they’ll release moisture that lifts the fond from the pan, which then in turn flavours both the mushrooms and the sauce.<\/p>\n The sauce is simply made up with beef stock<\/strong> and cream<\/strong>, then flavoured with chives<\/strong> and Worcestershire sauce<\/strong>. For bonus flavour, make sure you stir in the resting juices from the steak<\/strong> (this adds loads of flavour, so don’t skip this step).<\/p>\n Process shots: remove steaks (photo 1), fry mushrooms (photo 2), and stock, cream, chives and Worcestershire sauce (photo 3), simmer and stir until thick (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n I like to add the mash to the plate and make a few swirls, to create lots of ‘pockets’ for the sauce to seep into. There will be plenty of sauce, so pour for your life; then finish with extra chives and dive in!<\/p>\n For more delicious steak pairings, check out my Steak and Orzo<\/a>, Steak and Potatoes<\/a> and Steak and Pasta<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for this steak and mash shall we?!<\/strong><\/p>\n
