NEW YORK STRIP STEAK WITH SAUCE ROBERT OVER BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• For the sauce, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, and saute the shallot until it becomes translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are tender and give up their juices. (While the mushrooms are cooling, begin sauteing the bacon in a separate skillet for the potatoes.) Add the merlot and cook for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, make a slurry with 1 tablespoon water and the cornstarch, then add the tomato paste and Dijon mustard and mix thoroughly until smooth. Add this mixture to the pan of mushrooms along with demi-glace and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Turn heat down to medium-low, and allow to reduce and thicken.
• White the mushrooms are cooking, heat the oil in the deep-fryer to 375 degrees F or according the manufacturer's instructions for potatoes. Saute the bacon strips in a skillet until crispy. Remove to paper towels to drain and cool to room temperature. Drain excess bacon fat from the skillet leaving a coating in which to saute the onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent. Deep-fry the baby potato slices until golden and drain on paper towels. Transfer them to the pan of onions, and crumble in the bacon. Toss in the scallions and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F for the steak, if you are finishing in the oven. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet with oven-safe handles. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and sear for about 2 minutes per side undisturbed (to let seasonings integrate into the surface of the meat) and then to your preferred level of doneness. Transfer the entire skillet to the oven to finish (about 10 minutes for medium- rare) They can also be cooked on a grill. Let steaks rest, then slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• To serve spoon some potatoes, top with a "fan" of steak slices and drizzle sauce over sliced steak. Garnish the plate with haricots verts.

CINNAMON STEAK ROBERT

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients except for the cinnamon sprinkle. Take the meat and place it into a baking dish or other container large enough to accomodate the steak. Pour the marinade over the steak making sure the meat is well coated with the sauce. Sprinkle the exposed side of the meat liberally with the cinnamon/sugar until it is entirely coated. Let stand for 20 minutes and then turn the steak over and cover the other side of the meat with the cinnamon sprinkle. Let stand. Cover the dish with aluminum foil in between the turnings. Turn the steak over at least 4 times each time reapplying the sprinkle on the exposed side of the steak while allowing the meat to marinade for a minimum of 2 hours. You can marinate over night but it isn't necessary. You can use the baking dish to cook the steak as long as the dish is big enough so the liquid comes about half way up the side of the meat. Put the uncovered dish on the grill to cook and close the lid of the grill. I sometimes make a cooking surface from tin foil by crimping several layers of foil together and turning up the ends and sides to keep the liquid around the steak. I then place it on the grill. Make sure you use several layers so it is thick enough and won't puncture and leak liquid. Cook in the liquid until desired doneness. I strongly suggest rare to medium rare for best flavor. When the steak is done remove from pan and let it rest 10 minutes or so. Slice very thin against the grain. Use the remaining sauce as a table sauce. I hope this turns out well for you because I never measured the ingredients before, I would just use sight and taste as my guide. But if done properly this is a terrific recipe.
