The meat and potatoes comfort food party

Making:

Tiny meat patties with shallot gravy, steamed potatoes and green beans 

2 servings prepared 

Here's what I have:

5 oz Ground beef 

16 oz Yukon Gold potatoes 

6 oz green beans

2 large shallots 

1 scallion separate greens and whites

2 cups Vegetable stock 

2 tbsp corn starch 

1 tsp Bacon butter 

1 tbsp Carolina mustard seasoning 

1 tsp better than bouillon onion flavor 

1 tsp better than bouillon garlic flavor 

Preparation:

1)

A large steamer pot was set to boil. 

The beef was mixed with the seasoning and onion bullion then separated into 4 small patties. The potatoes were washed and quartered. The shallots and scallions were sliced as thin as possible. 

2)

Once the steamer pot was boiling the potatoes were added and a timer set for 15 minutes. 

In a separate pan the bacon butter was added and the patties were placed in the pan these were allowed to cook for 4 minutes per side and placed on a separate plate to rest. 

3)

Once the potato timer was up the green beans were added on top of the potatoes and an 8 minute timer was set. 

4)

In the same pan the patties were cooked in the shallots and scallion whites were added.  1 cup of the broth and garlic bullion was added and the shallots and scallion whites were cooked until soft.  1/4 cup  of the broth was mixed with the corn starch and set aside.  Once the onions were soft the remaining broth and slurry mix were added and mixed well. The sauce was then allowed to thicken up. 

To plate, the vegetables and patties were added to the plate and the gravy was placed on top. Some of the scallion greens were held to the side and used as garnish.

The plate!
