How to Make Bavette Flap Steak With Beurre Rouge Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and cut 1.5 lbs potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper on a large baking sheet. Spread in a single layer, cut-side down.
- Add 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (or thyme) to the baking sheet.
- Roast for 15 minutes without stirring, until edges are crisp and golden brown.
- Pierce potatoes with a knife; if not tender, roast for another 10-15 minutes.
- Remove rosemary sprigs (reserve for garnish, if desired).
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup dry red wine, 1/4 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots, and 1 bay leaf.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup (approximately 25-30 minutes).
- Discard the bay leaf and set aside.
- Season both sides of a 1-lb Bavette steak generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear the steak for 1 1/2-2 minutes per side, until browned.
- Transfer steak to a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness).
- Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- If the wine reduction has cooled, gently reheat.
- Remove from heat and whisk in 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, until melted and sauce thickens. Reheat gently if needed.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
- Serve the steak with the Beurre Rouge sauce and roasted potatoes. Garnish with reserved rosemary, if desired.
