Steak & Potatoes // Sirtfood

It's been awhile, but I'm back at it! I still have some sirtfood blogs to finish up as well as catching you all up on how life has been. Sometimes you just have to step away for a bit and come back with a fresh mind! I wanted to share this dinner (even though the pictures I got weren't the best) because it was one of our favorite sirtfood meals. I'm also contemplating starting up the sirtfood diet again soon before these holidays get to me. Ha!

Ingredients:

3.5 oz. potatoes, peeled and diced
1tbsp extra virgin olive oil
5g parsley, finely chopped
2 oz. red onion, sliced into rings
2 oz. kale, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 oz. beef fillet - I used a 1lb bacon wrapped center sirloin cut
splash of red wine
1/2 C. beef broth
1tsp tomato paste
1tsp cornflour, dissolved in 1tbsp water

Heat the oven to 350
Boil potatoes for 5 minutes and then drain, put them on a baking sheet with 1tsp oil and bake for 35-45 minutes, turning every 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, sauté the onion in 1tsp oil over a medium heat until soft and caramelized. Set aside, but keep warm.

Steam the kale for 2-3 minutes, then drain. Sauté the garlic gently in ¹/₂tsp oil for 1 minute until soft. Add the kale and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until tender. Keep warm.
Rub ¹/₂tsp oil on the steaks then sear/cook for how well you like your steaks. Set aside.
After removing the steaks in the same pan add wine and let it heat up all the steak residue.
To the skillet add add beef broth and tomato paste. Bring to a boil and then add the cornstarch paste to thicken the sauce. Just a little at a time. Stir in any juice from the rested steak.
