Steaks Béarnaise Over Potato Cakes
Ingredients
2 cups prepared sour cream and chive mashed potatoes
1/3 cup cooked bacon pieces
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons + 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 large egg (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)
1 1/2 lb grilling steaks (NY-strip, skirt, or ribeye)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 bag fresh spinach (8–10 oz)
1 (10-oz) container roasted garlic cooking crème, divided
2 tablespoons béarnaise sauce mix
Steps
- Combine potatoes, bacon, cheese, 2 tablespoons flour (or more, if potatoes too soft), and egg until blended. Form into six patties. Place 1/2 cup flour on plate; coat both sides of patties with flour. Set aside.
- Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season steaks with pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add steaks; cook 3–4 minutes on each side or until 145°F (for medium-rare). Remove steaks from pan; cover to keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium. Place remaining 2 tablespoons oil in pan, then add 3 patties; cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer to paper towels to drain; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 3 patties.
- Place spinach in large microwave-safe bowl and cover; microwave on HIGH 4–5 minutes or until tender. Slice steak thinly across grain.
- Combine 1/2 cup cooking crème and béarnaise sauce mix in microwave-safe bowl; microwave on HIGH 1 minute, stirring often, or until hot.
- Drain spinach, if needed; stir in remaining cooking crème and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Divide spinach over potato cakes, top with steak, and drizzle with sauce. Serve.
