Cooking steps
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Heat a small pot over medium heat and add polenta, stock concentrate, and cup water (⅔ cup for 4 servings). Mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth, 30-60 seconds.

  • Whisk in cream cheese, half the Parmesan, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4); cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 3-4 minutes.

  • Turn off heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: If polenta seems too thick, add water 1 TBSP at a time until it reaches desired consistency.

2
  • Pat steak* very dry with paper towels; rub all over with Italian herb paste, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. TIP: Reduce heat to medium if steak is browning too quickly.

  • Turn off heat; transfer steak to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes. Wipe out pan.

3
  • While steak cooks, halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ¼-inch pieces. Roughly chop parsley.

4
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan used for steak over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned and slightly softened, 4-5 minutes.

  • Add marinara, garlic powder, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings); cook until sauce has thickened, 30-60 seconds. Stir in half the parsley; season with salt and pepper.

5
  • Thinly slice steak against the grain.

  • Divide onion and bell pepper ragù and polenta between plates. Top ragù with steak and remaining parsley. Top polenta with remaining Parmesan. Serve.
