A delightful dish combining tender steak with creamy mustard potatoes, perfect for a hearty meal.
Boil the baby potatoes in a saucepan of salted water until tender, about 10 minutes.
Ensure the potatoes are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Gently press each potato with your palm to flatten slightly.
Flattening the potatoes helps them absorb more flavor during cooking.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the frying pan over medium-high heat and sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
In a mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, sour cream, mustard, chives, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
Adjust the mustard and lemon juice to taste for a balanced flavor.
Serve the steaks alongside the creamy mustard potatoes. Garnish with additional chives if desired.
Present the dish on a warm plate for the best dining experience.
