- 3 oz CREMINI MUSHROOMS
- 2 sprigs ROSEMARY
- 1-2 SHALLOTS
- 2 tbsp LUCY'S PUB BLEND ((or other steak seasoning))
- STEP 1: MISE EN PLACE
Pre heat oven to 450ºF. Read through the entire recipe before getting started. Wash and dry all produce, scrub potatoes well. Peel and julienne shallot. Remove rosemary from the stem and finely chop. Slice the cremini mushrooms. Mince the garlic. Slice the russet potatoes into thin wedges and pat dry. Grate the parmesan. Remove the sirloin from the package, rinse and pat dry.
- STEP 2: ROAST THE POTATOES
In a large mixing bowl toss the potatoes with 1 Tbsp. of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on a foil lined sheet pan and roast in the oven for 40 minutes flipping half way through. The potatoes should have a deep golden color. While the potatoes are roasting move on to sear the steak.

- STEP 5: FINISH THE POTATOES
Remove potatoes from the oven and carefully place back in the large mixing bowl. Add the remaining garlic, rosemary andngrated parmesan. Toss to combine and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
