Final preparation
Once ready to cook, heat a pan or cook the steak in a hot grill, as per desired doneness. In the meantime heat the sauce & check the consistency. Once desired consistency is achieved, finish with a blob of butter. The carrots will be a little saucy & heat the broccoli in boiling water & keep hot. Once jacket potatoes are done, make a slit like of "X" on the top & squeeze from four bottom sides of the potato, so that it puffs up through the slit. Put in the butter, seasoning & sour cream. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Once ready for service, put the steak on the plate with the sauce drizzled on top. Put the jacket potato on side & the vegetables around. Serve immediately.

Bon Apetit!!
