Balsamic Steak Tips with Honey-Roasted Carrots and Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 pack Trader Joe’s balsamic rosemary steak tips
• 1 bag Trader Joe’s frozen mashed potatoes
• 1 bag large organic carrots (Sliced diagonally into 2-inch pieces.)
• 1.5 tbsp honey (Source gives a range of 1–2 tbsp; midpoint represented.)
• salt (To taste; use a pinch with the carrots and a large pinch with the mashed potatoes, then season to taste; finish with flaky sea salt.)
• black pepper (To taste; use a pinch with carrots and a large pinch with the mashed potatoes.)
• 4 tbsp olive oil (Divided; use 2 tbsp for the steak tips and the remainder to toss with the carrots.)
• 4 tbsp salted butter
• 3 tbsp heavy cream

Steps

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the carrots diagonally into 2-inch pieces if they are not already prepared.

2. 2

   Put the carrots on a sheet pan. Toss them with the portion of olive oil intended for the carrots, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Roast the carrots for 20–25 minutes, or until tender.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, heat the frozen mashed potatoes in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring regularly until warmed through.

5. 5

   Add the salted butter, heavy cream, a large pinch of salt, and pepper to the warmed potatoes. Mix well, then season to taste and whip briefly until creamy.

6. 6

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet. Add the steak tips and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly pink in the middle.

7. 7

   When the carrots are done roasting, toss them with the honey and finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

8. 8

   Serve the steak tips over the mashed potatoes, with the carrots on the side.

Notes

The recipe does not specify the weight of the steak-tip pack, mashed-potato bag, or carrot bag, so ingredient weights and their nutrition cannot be determined from the source. The post describes this as a five-ingredient dinner, but lists additional seasonings and cooking ingredients. Olive oil is listed as 4 tbsp total, divided, and the method specifies 2 tbsp for the steak.
