🎤 “Welcome to Tonight’s Episode of: What’s That Smell? Oh, It’s Dinner!”

(Starring YOU… and maybe the dog if you drop anything)


Ladies and gentlemen, aprons on and egos high—it’s time to make Steak with Special Glaze, Roasted Carrots & Crispy Potato Wedges.


This is the kind of meal that makes your neighbors wonder what’s going on at your house and why they weren’t invited.






🛒 The Cast of

Ingredients

  • 2 top sirloin steaks (or whatever’s in your fridge that moos)

  • 6 oz carrots (they’re vegetables, don’t skip them—you’ll feel guilty)

  • 12 oz potatoes (crispy golden happiness in tuber form)

  • 4 oz mushrooms (flavor sponges, darling)

  • 1 shallot (tiny onion, big drama)

  • ½ oz salted butter (because life’s too short for unsalted)

  • 3 tbsp soy glaze

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • ½ tbsp Weeknight Hero Spice Blend (your shortcut to tasting like you tried)

  • 1 tbsp Dew Spice Blend (from DewChilli.com—the Beyoncé of spices)

  • Olive oil, salt, pepper (you’ve got this, I believe in you)


Props & Stage Equipment: Frying pan, 2 sheet pans lined with foil, knife, cutting board


🎬 Scene One: Prep Like You’re on Camera

  • Oven at 450°F—no excuses.

  • Wash & dry your veggies like you’re prepping for a photo shoot.

  • Potatoes: 1-inch wedges.

  • Carrots: peel, halve, chop into 2-inch diva sticks.

  • Mushrooms: thin slices.

  • Shallot: dramatic thin slice.

  • Whisk soy glaze + balsamic vinegar + 2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Look smug about it.


🎬 Scene Two: Potato Paparazzi

  • Potatoes go on sheet pan.

  • Olive oil drizzle—like the slow-mo pour in an ad.

  • Season: salt, pepper, ½ Weeknight Hero, pinch of Dew Spice.

  • Toss. Roast 22–26 min until they look ready for their close-up.


🎬 Scene Three: Carrots Work the Runway

  • Carrots on the second pan.

  • Repeat the oil & spice treatment.

  • Roast 14–18 min until lightly browned and just tender enough to make you say “Mmm.”


🎬 Scene Four: Steak, Baby!

  • Pat steaks dry—no one likes a soggy star.

  • Season with salt & pepper.

  • Pan on medium-high, oil hot enough to make you nervous.

  • Cook 5–10 min, flipping like you know what you’re doing. Medium rare = 125°F.

  • Sprinkle Dew Spice on the ends and sear. (Yes, we’re literally “rimming” our steak—don’t overthink it.)

  • Rest 5 min before slicing against the grain. Don’t rush—good things take time.


🎬 Scene Five: Mushrooms Steal the Spotlight

  • Mushrooms & shallots into the steak pan with all that glorious fond.

  • Add oil if dry (but let’s be real, there’s probably steak juice everywhere).

  • Cook 2–3 min without stirring—build suspense.

  • Season, stir, and cook another 1–2 min.

  • Pour in glaze mixture—brace for the applause-worthy sizzle.

  • Scrape up every bit of fond like it owes you money.

  • Stir in butter until glossy. Taste. Adjust. Smile.

🎬 Finale: The Plate Drop

  • Arrange steak slices like a work of modern art.

  • Add potato wedges and carrot batons.

  • Spoon over that mushroom glaze like you’re Michelangelo finishing the Sistine Chapel.

  • Serve. Take a bow. Ignore the dishes for now.

💡 Encore Tip: The Dew Spice Blend is your scene-stealer. Get it from DewChilli.com and let your taste buds take a standing ovation.
