Cooking Steps
- Cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.
- Add bacon to a dry, large non-stick pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon is golden-brown and starts to crisp, 7-9 min.**
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving bacon fat in the pan.
- Meanwhile, on a clean cutting board, peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
- Mash cream cheese, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) milk into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, combine half the maple syrup (use all for 4 ppl), half the Dijon (use all for 4 ppl) and 1 tsp (2 tsp) vinegar in a small bowl.
- Thinly slice chives.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Trim and discard bottom 1 inch from asparagus.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) chives and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) softened butter to another small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt, then mash with a fork until combined. Set aside.
- Return the pan with reserved bacon fat to medium-high.
- While the pan heats, pat steak dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
- When the pan is hot, add steak. Sear until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.
- Remove the pan from heat. Transfer steak to an unlined baking sheet.
- Broil in the top of the oven until cooked to desired doneness, 6-10 min.**
- Transfer steak to a clean cutting board. Set aside to rest for 2-3 min.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Meanwhile, add asparagus and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water, to the same pan, then season with salt. Bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, cook, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates, 4-5 min.
- Reduce heat to medium, then add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Stir until butter melts.
- Add garlic and bacon. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Remove the pan from heat. Add maple-Dijon sauce. Stir until asparagus is coated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Thinly slice steak.
- Stir half the remaining chives into mashed potatoes.
