Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 1 bunch collard greens, washed and chopped
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • Toasted walnuts for garnish if desired.
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season the flank steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the flank steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  2. While the steak is resting, heat a separate skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chopped collard greens and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender.
  3. In a large pot, cover the diced potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  4. Add butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the pot with the potatoes. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until creamy and well combined.
  5. Plate the potatoes first, followed by the greens, and on top, place the steak.
  6. Top with toasted walnuts if desired.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

To help your flank steak cook evenly, make sure it is at room temperature before cooking. When cooking the collard greens, you can add a splash of chicken or vegetable broth for extra flavor. For creamier mashed potatoes, you can add more milk or cream, and for a healthier version, you can use low-fat milk or Greek yogurt instead of butter. Enjoy!
