Steak: Roast the garlic and puree with 1 cup of the oil.  Mince the herbs and mix with garlic puree.  This will be like a marinade for the steak.  Marinate over night.  Season with salt and pepper the day of service.  Sear in a skillet and finish in the oven to desired temperature.  Hold hot.

Potatoes: Rinse potatoes.  Toss with oil and seasonings.  Roast at 450 degrees until done.  Hold hot.

Kale: Wash kale well.  Julienne so there aren’t large pieces.  Slice shallots really thin.  Toss salad with vinaigrette up to an hour before service so the greens can start to break down slightly.  Check seasoning and hold cold.

Vinaigrette: Put everything in the blender except oil.  Blend.  Slowly add oil to create an emulsion.  Check seasoning and reserve.

Butter: Let butter soften overnight (or at least a couple of hours).  Whip in a mixer with the paddle attachment.  Add in everything else and mix well.  Check seasoning.  Roll into a log with parchment paper and chill.  Slice to 1 oz pieces and hold cold.  Start this at least a day ahead of time.

Serve 4oz potatoes, 3 oz kale salad and 1 steak.  Garnish steak with 1 piece of butter.
