Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
2 tsp. lemon zest plus 1 to 2 tablespoons juice
3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
2 (3/4-inch-thick) strip steaks (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 small shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

Directions

1. Step 1Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes, adding peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and return vegetables to the pot. Add lemon zest and juice and 2 tablespoons oil; mash. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper. Cook to desired degree of doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing; reserve skillet.
3. Step 3Reduce heat to medium. Add shallots to reserved skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Add wine and 1/4 cup water. Cook, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, until liquid is reduced by half, 4 to 6 minutes; remove from heat. Add butter and swirl pan to melt; stir in juices from cutting board. Season with salt and pepper. Serve steak topped with sauce and potatoes alongside.
