Southwestern Tenderloin Steaks - Harborwitch - 02-04-2011
Okay this came in the email recipes - looks and sounds wonderful but I'm a little confused.
I get the Chipotle mashed potatoes are on the bottom, then the spinach, then something that looks creamy, the the steaks, then something on top of them????? Anyone got a clue?

Well, it's certainly not listed in the recipe, but the recipe doesn't even say ANYTHING about plating the dish, so the photo appears to be like one of those that you see on packaged food (i.e. the ones that say "serving suggestion" so that people can't say that something is missing from the box).
It would appear that the potatoes are topped with sour cream or crème fraiche and the steak is topped with a compound butter.

I've made this before and it is WONDERFUL! It's in the Cuisine for Two cookbook. The sauce is port wine and beef broth with garlic, tomato paste and Worcestershire. The photo in the book is same photo in the email and that's how I served it.
We loved it! In looking at my notes, I only made a comment that the potatoes are enough to serve 3.

Oh my, hadn't noticed (or had forgotten
) that dinner, it sure looks good.

Thanks all - I'll check out the original recipe. It does sound awfully good and it looks amazing.

I'm pretty sure I made this for my son's birthday bbq 3 or 4 years ago. Are there grape tomatoes sauteed with the spinach?
I think the creamy stuff on top of the potatoes (or spinach) is like a lime adobo creama sauce.
My guests went bananas for this dish.

I found it. Feb. 07, Issue 61.
OK, for the lime crema that tops the potatoes you mix 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 T. fresh lime juice, pinch of salt.
Compound butter to top the steaks, combine 1 stick unsalted butter, 1 T. fresh minced parsley, 1 t. minced lemon zest, 1/4 t. kosher salt.
I'm going to have to put the meal together soon.

Thanks. Mystery solved.

We made this one, also. I remember the potatoes were amazing! Everything else was very good, also!
