Janey’s Baked Steak

By mamacasma

This delicious steak dish may use simple ingredients, but its flavor is sophisticated and bright—especially the roasted lemon, which you can eat outer peel and all; the thinner sliced, the better.

Ingredients

• 8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced on a diagonal
• 1 lemon, very thinly sliced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 1 2-lb, 2-in.-thick sirloin steak
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 ⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 ⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• Baked potatoes, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 400°F. In a roasting pan, combine the mushrooms, celery, lemon, onion, oil, and 1⁄4 tsp each salt and pepper.

2. Season the steak with 1⁄2 tsp each salt and pepper, rub with the garlic and place on top of the vegetables.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, lemon juice and Worcestershire.

4. Spoon the ketchup mixture over the top of the steak and roast 30 to 35 minutes for medium-rare (when a meat thermometer registers 125°F). Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the steak with the vegetables and baked potatoes, if desired.
