You probably read the title of this post and thought, “I don’t understand. Isn’t Nicole a vegetarian?” Yes, that’s true. I don’t eat meat myself, but I have a husband who would eat bacon every day if I made it. So, every once in a while I like to cook him something special and different for dinner. When I told him yesterday afternoon that I was going to cook him steak for dinner, he was thrilled!
When it comes to grocery shopping, we have a lot of options nearby. However, anytime I want to buy meat for Bryan I visit Whole Foods. Their meat products have no added hormones and no antibiotics, and their butchers are very knowledgeable about the products they sell. I picked steak and asparagus to cook for dinner last night because they are two items from Whole Foods’ Hot Deals. So if you like this recipe, head on over to your local store from now until Oct. 28th to get them on sale.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as Bryan did. I adapted this recipe he found on Real Simple.
- 1/2 pound sirloin steak
- black pepper
- pink Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp EVOO
- 1 tbs Dijon mustard
- 1 tbs red wine vinegar
- 1/4 shallot, chopped
- 1 lb asparagus
- 6 small red potatoes, sliced
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Coat asparagus lightly with EVOO and season with black pepper and pink Himalayan salt.
- Add asparagus to baking sheet and bake for 9-11 min.
- Season the steak with black pepper and pink Himalayan salt.
- Add EVOO to a hot large skillet.
- Add the steak to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, 3 to 5 min per side (medium-rare).
- Place potatoes to a microwave save bowl.
- Cook for 5-6 min. flipping the potatoes around every couple min.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Dijon and chopped shallot.
- Once the meat is cooked, let rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
- Top the steak with the Dijon mixture and serve with asparagus and potatoes.
- Enjoy!
- Note: I microwaved my potatoes because I was short on time. You can certainly bake them in the oven or steam them on the stove. Whatever you prefer.

Trader Joes is a great place for meat as well — also no added hormones, antibiotics, and free range! Their prices are comparable and usually cheaper than whole foods too
Trader Joes is great too! We love stopping there for specialty items that we can’t get elsewhere. They have such unique stuff.

This sounds good! I also love to buy meet / fish from Whole Foods, the butchers make is so much a better experience than going to my typical food store.
The overall friendliness of the staff is a huge reason I keep coming back to Whole Foods.
I love mustard sauces and shallots! They go so well with steak, too. Visiting from Create it Thursday!
Thanks for visiting! Glad to see readers coming from the link ups
