Flank Steak with Shallots

recipe

• Step 1
  Peel and chop the potatoes into cubes.
• Step 2
  Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 20 minutes.
• Step 3
  Meanwhile, mince the shallots.
• Step 4
  Add a 1/3 of the butter to a hot frying pan and cook them for 2 minutes. Add a bit of water and leave it to evaporate.
• Step 5
  Chop up some chives if you have any and put them to the side.
• Step 6
  Once the water has evaporated, add the steak to a frying pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side for medium rare. (It's a thinner cut of steak so it cooks fast, so if you like your steak rare or medium, be sure not to cook it for too long!)
• Step 7
  Mash them with a fork, salt and pepper to taste, and add some butter or olive oil if you wish.
• Step 8
  Remove the meat from the pan. Add a bit of water into the pan with another 1/3 of the butter to make the sauce. When the butter is melted and browned, the sauce is done.
• Step 9
  (Optional: Mix the chives into the mashed potato if you have any.)
• Step 10
  Plate your mashed potatoes with your flank steak, top with the shallots and drizzle the sauce over the top. And enjoy!
