Served with a side of steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes, Steak Provençale is a hearty and satisfying meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner at home.

Steps:
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Season the meat generously with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the oil to the skillet and heat just until beginning to smoke. Brown the meat all over and sear the roast, turning as each side turns a deep mahogany, about 10 minutes. While the meat browns, put the flour into a medium bowl and whisk with about 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth until smooth.
- Crush the tomatoes through your fingers into the slow cooker; stir in their juices, 3 tablespoons of the cognac, herbes de Provence, and the 2 teaspoons salt.
- Transfer the browned meat to the slow cooker. Add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth to the skillet; let it bubble for a minute and then stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Pour over the meat, then scatter the garlic, carrots, fennel, and onion over and around the meat. Pour the flour mixture over. Cover the cooker, set it on HIGH, and cook for 4 hours. Set the cooker on LOW and cook until the meat is very tender, up to 2 hours more (for a total of 6 hours). Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Skim any excess fat off the top of the sauce in the cooker.
- To finish the sauce: Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon cognac, the tomato tapenade, parsley, and orange zest into the vegetables and sauce in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slice the meat and lay the slices down the center of a serving platter. Arrange the vegetables around the meat and spoon some sauce over the top. Serve with hot buttered egg noodles. Pass the remaining sauce.

HANGER STEAK PROVENCAL
Steak and cabernet are a classic for good reason. Here, we've marinated the steak in Provencal spices to parallel the herb notes in the wine; finishing it with a sprinkle of gray salt sharpens the meaty flavors and pulls out some of the cab's ripe red fruit notes.

SIRLOIN STEAK PROVENçAL WITH ROASTED ASPARAGUS, POTATOES & GARLIC AIOLI
Does your local steakhouse season their steaks with herbs de Provence? Non? Quelle missed opportunity! We sizzle this magical blend of southern French aromatics in a pool of butter to baste juicy sirloin steaks. Can you already taste the rosemary and tarragon? Maybe a soupçon of lavender? We stepped up the sides, too: a rich pan sauce for the steak, roasted asparagus and potato wedges, and roasted garlic aioli for dipping. It all adds up to a gourmet meal that is 100 percent magnifique.

Steps:
- • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus; cut stalks crosswise into 1-inch pieces. • Pat steak* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature until ready to cook.
- • Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread out across entire sheet.) Peel garlic and place in the center of a small piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cinch into a packet and place on same sheet. • Roast on top rack until everything is browned and tender, 28-30 minutes (you'll add more to the sheet after 18 minutes).
- • Once potatoes have roasted 18 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss asparagus on empty side with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, add asparagus to a second sheet; roast on middle rack.) • Roast until asparagus is tender and lightly browned, 10-12 minutes more. • Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve, peel, and mince onion until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4).
- • Pat steak dry with paper towels again. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned on one side, 3-6 minutes. Flip and lower heat to medium. • Add 1 tsp Herbes de Provence (we sent more) and 2 TBSP butter to pan (2 tsp Herbes de Provence and 4 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Carefully tilt pan toward you. Using a spoon, continually baste steak with butter until it reaches desired doneness, 6-9 minutes more. • Transfer steak to a cutting board to rest at least 5 minutes (leave butter in pan)
- • Heat pan used for steak over medium- high heat; add minced onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add scallion whites; cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.
- • Carefully transfer roasted garlic to a cutting board; mash with a fork. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with as much garlic as you like. Season with salt and pepper. • Slice steak against the grain. • Divide steak, potatoes, and asparagus between plates. Stir any resting juices from steak into pan sauce. Spoon sauce over steak; garnish with scallion greens. Serve with garlic aioli on the side.

Steps:
- Position a broiler pan on the rack closest to the broiler and preheat to high for at least 10 minutes.
- Pulse the anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, herbes de Provence, salt and pepper in a small food processor. Add the olive oil and pulse to mix. Rub the paste all over the steak.
- Carefully pull the preheated pan from the broiler, set the steak in the center of the rack (it should sizzle when it hits the pan), and return to the broiler. Cook until the meat feels firm but still gives gently when pressed, 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare. (If your pan rack has preheated properly, it will not be necessary to turn the meat. However, if your broiler doesn't have a high output of heat, turn the meat 3/4 of the way through cooking to finish off the other side.)
- Remove the meat from the broiler, remove it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Thinly slice the meat, against the grain, set on a platter. Serve warm with lemon wedges.

Tips:
- To ensure a flavorful steak, choose a cut with good marbling, such as ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin.
- Before cooking, season the steak generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or thyme.
- For a perfectly cooked steak, use a meat thermometer to ensure that it reaches your desired doneness. For a rare steak, cook to an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C); for a medium-rare steak, cook to 135°F (57°C); for a medium steak, cook to 145°F (63°C); and for a well-done steak, cook to 155°F (68°C).
- When cooking the steak in a skillet, make sure the pan is hot before adding the steak. This will help to sear the steak and create a delicious crust.
- Baste the steak with butter or oil while it cooks. This will help to keep the steak moist and flavorful.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
