Preparation
Mise en place
- Thinly slice the carrots crosswise on an angle.
- Peel and thinly slice the parsnips crosswise on an angle.
Sauté the vegetables
- Pick the sage leaves off the stems; roughly chop ½ the leaves.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add ⅔ of the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the carrots, parsnips and 3 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Sauté, 10 min., until tender.
- Add the maple syrup, vinegar, walnuts and chopped sage.
- Simmer, 30 sec. to 1 min., until warmed through; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
Cook the steaks
- Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the steaks* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked as desired (to ensure a consistent temperature throughout, turn over at least twice).
- Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan. Let rest before slicing.
Make the sauce
- In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the demi-glace, remaining sage and ⅓ cup water (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced.
- Remove the sage.
Plate your dish
- Divide the steaks and vegetables between your plates.
- Spoon the sauce over the steaks. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
