Because I'm Ready to tell you how to make it:]

So the first thing is you need to prepare all of you ingredients.. by the way there is A LOT of salt in this recipe so if you don't like salt this might not be for you, although you don't taste the sale to much once everything is all cooked lol..

You need:

8oz Steak (filet mignon)

Salt and Pepper to taste (tt)

Mash Potatoes

Potatoes of your choice preferably Tukon Gold cut and Peeled, cut in to med cubes

4Tbl Milk

4tbl Butter

2Tbl Sour Cream

1/3 bunch of scallions (green onions)

Salt Encrusted Beet

1 fairly small beet

8oz Kosher salt

3Tbl fresh thyme (dried will do although fresh is better)

2 egg whites

2Tbl pepper

Whooooooo hoooo Lets Get Cookin!

So first off you need to peel and cut your potatoes and get them into salted water, (FUN FACT: for those who don't know salt helps the water to boil as well as stops the potatoes from coloring) keep on low heat and NEVER BOIL your potatoes!  allow your potatoes to cook slowly this way they don't get done too much before your beet.

Then you need to make you mixture for your salt encrusted beet Mix all ingredients together excluding beet, it will form a nasty looking past type concoction, don't fret you wont be eating that:] 

Now wash off your beet and cut off top and bottem providing a stable beet place beat on  1/2 sheet pan of whatever you have handy, lined with parchment.. or tin foil once again what ever you have  handy place your beet on to sheet, and cover completely with salt mixture! place into a 450 degree oven for 1hr and 45min or intill beet is easily pierced with a knife. once in oven keep an eye on the time and move on..

ACTUALLY! with then time you have to wait now, pour your self a drink and kick back for a second.

now that, that is over, once your potatoes are pierced easily with a knife or fork drain them and put them in the oven for NO MORE than 2 min to allow then to dry out a bit, you don't want watery potatoes. then mix your milk and butter together and bring to a small boil, once the butter and milk and completely combined add the sour cream, mix well, it might be slightly bumpy and that is okay, heat some butter till it is completely brown and wilt your scallions, once this is done mix the milk, butter, and sour cream mixture into your potatoes till they are at the desired consistance you like then add your butter and scallions! now you are complete! set this on the back burner on low to keep warm. 

Check your beet, if it is easily pierced pull it out and let it cool while you start your steak!

Heat a pan with (I used Butter but you can use what you like) heat pan with butter till almost smoking point! then add your steak and cook each side for a couple minutes ( this should produce a med rare steak) pull off and set aside in warm place for 10 min to allow it to rest, to regain softness and juices

Now remove salt crust from your beet and slice into strips or how ever you find appeasing, 

assemble plate and enjoy:]
