Step 1

Prep • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Mince chives; reserve 2 tsp for step 5 (you’ll use remaining in the next step). Zest and halve lemon; slice half into ¼-inch thick rounds.

Step 2

Make Mashed Potatoes • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. • Mash potatoes with crème fraîche and 2 TBSP plain butter until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. • Stir in remaining chives and season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

Step 3

Roast Broccoli • While potatoes cook, cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Toss broccoli and lemon rounds on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until broccoli is golden brown and crispy, 15-20 minutes. Carefully toss with half the lemon zest. • Meanwhile, place garlic herb butter in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just softened, 5-10 seconds.

Step 4

Cook Steak • Pat steak* dry with paper towels; season all over with the Steak Spice, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer steak to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Wipe out pan.

Step 5

Finish & Serve • Thinly slice steak against the grain. • Divide steak, potatoes, and broccoli between plates. Dollop steak with softened garlic herb butter. Cut remaining lemon into wedges; serve on the side.
