• Set a rack in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot® and add 3 cups water. Stack the potatoes on the rack. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, turn off the heat and let the steam release naturally for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, follow the manufacturer's guide for steam release and allow any residual steam to air out. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid; transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the half-and-half, butter, sour cream and a large pinch of salt and pepper.

BONE-IN RIB-EYE WITH BLACK TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES, ROASTED SHALLOT AND BEURRE ROUGE

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot of water seasoned with a couple pinches of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are soft, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the cream, butter and thyme in a medium saucepan. Shave 4 to 5 slices from the truffle and add them and any broken-up parts to the cream mixture. Bring to simmer over medium heat, then cook on low to infuse the cream.
• Strain the potatoes. Put them through a ricer and back into the pot. Finely grate the remaining truffle on a rasp grater into the potatoes. Gradually strain the infused heavy cream into the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir well with a wire whisk.
• For the steak: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Dry the steak off on both sides very well and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Once the oil starts to smoke, sear the steak until a nice brown crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Add the shallots cut-side down in the residual fat in the pan and cook to caramelization, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shallots and steak and drain the fat from the pan. Return the steak to the pan over medium heat. Add the butter and thyme and cook until the thyme starts to pop and fry. Baste the steak with the butter and thyme mixture. Add the shallots back to the pan and Finish with the lemon juice.
• Transfer the steak to a baking sheet lined with a rack and smother in the caramelized shallots, butter and thyme mixture. (Reserve the pan it was cooked in to make the sauce.) Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast until medium-rare and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center (do not touch bone) reads 132 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Let the steak rest before slicing.
• For the sauce: Add the olive oil, shallots and thyme to the drippings in the pan and saute over medium heat until the shallots are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, then turn the heat down to medium and reduce the wine by two-thirds, about 8 minutes. Add the demi-glace and red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk in the cold butter in, one piece at a time, to mount the sauce. Strain the reduction, removing the shallots and thyme. Return the reduction to the pan and warm over low heat.
• Serve the potatoes and steak with the beurre rouge. Garnish with the reserved caramelized shallots and some watercress.

TRUFFLED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them in 1-inch chunks. Place them in a large, deep saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender. Drain and return the potatoes to the saucepan.
• Meanwhile, heat the half-and-half and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Off the heat, add the truffle butter and allow it to melt. If the butter doesn't melt completely, heat the mixture slightly but don't allow the truffles to cook! With a hand mixer, beat the hot potatoes in the pot until they are broken up. Slowly beat in most of the hot truffle cream, the Parmesan, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and beat until the potatoes are thick and smooth. (You may have some truffle cream left over - reserve it for reheating.)
• To keep the potatoes hot or to reheat them, place them in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Heat slowly, adding more truffle cream if the potatoes get too thick. Season to taste and serve hot.
