“Meat and potatoes” gets elevated when you add a sophisticated sauce. Here, that’s a mix of balsamic glaze and demi-glace, which bring tart and savory flavors with a little sweetness to round it out. The sauce is drizzled onto our New York strip steak, providing a bright contrast to the richness of the beef. With creamed spinach and herb-roasted spuds on the side, everything about this dish says classic comforts done right.
