Directions
For the herb sauce:
- Step 1Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, herbs, garlic, serrano, shallot and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
For the hash browns:
- Step 1Preheat a waffle iron to high. Toss the shredded potatoes with the cheese, melted butter, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Coat the waffle iron with cooking spray, add ¾ cup of the potato mixture to each well and pat down. (You should hear them sizzle!)
- Step 2Close the waffle iron and cook until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Check occasionally to make sure they aren’t burning. Use a butter knife to remove the hash browns. Repeat to make more hash browns.
For the steak:
- Step 1Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Pat the steak dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Step 2Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Divide the hash browns and steak among plates and drizzle the steak with the herb sauce.
