Steak, Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus

TIP:

WANT TO USE FRESH STEAKS INSTEAD OF FROZEN? Don’t pressure cook them—just add them to the rack over the mashed potatoes as instructed in step 7. Broil the fresh steaks until internal temperature is at least 130°F. Flip them over halfway through broiling.

Ingredients

  • 5 Russet potatoes, peeled, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter, divided
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 3 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
  • 2 frozen New York strip steaks (12 ounces each, 1 1/2 inches thick)
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Step 1
Place potatoes and water into the pot.

Step 2
Place the reversible rack in the pot over potatoes, making sure rack is in the higher position. Season steaks with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, then place them on the rack.

Step 7
Return rack with steaks to pot over mashed potatoes. Place asparagus on rack next to steaks. Close crisping lid. Select BROIL and set time to 8 minutes for medium steak or 12 minutes for well-done. Select START/STOP to begin.
