STEAK FRITES WITH LEMON AND PEPPER SEASONING AND EASY HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the potatoes into thin wedges and put in a medium bowl. Add the oil, melted butter and seasoning salt and toss to coat. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cook, turning once halfway through, until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• For the easy hollandaise: In a small saucepan, melt the butter until sizzling.
• Put the egg yolks in a blender and turn to low to allow the yolks to combine. Begin pouring in the very hot butter in a thin stream; the blender should remain on the whole time, and the butter should be poured in very slowly. Keep adding the butter until it's all gone, then immediately begin adding the lemon juice. Check the blender to make sure the sauce is still liquidy and moving easily through the blades. If not, add a little more juice and give it a stir, then blend again. Add the cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a serving pitcher and cover with foil until serving.
• For the lemon and pepper seasoning: In a ziptop bag, crack the peppercorns using a rolling pin. Add to a small bowl with the lemon zest, kosher salt, garlic powder, mustard powder, onion powder and sugar and mix well to combine.
• For the steak: Heat a grill pan or large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
• Brush the steaks with melted butter on both sides and season with the lemon and pepper seasoning. Cook, basting the steaks occasionally with more melted butter, until cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes a side. Rest for a minute or so.
• To serve, arrange the potato wedges on a platter, add the steaks and drizzle with the hollandaise. Serve with iceberg wedges and ranch dressing.

LEMON-PEPPER FRIED "CHICKEN" TENDERS

Steps:

• For the lemon-pepper "chicken": Place the tofu on a layer of paper towels on a cutting board. Top with more paper towels. Place a pot over the top and fill with heavy cans to press the excess liquid from the tofu. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Cut the tofu into strips. Soak the strips in the broth in a bowl for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the ranch dip: Stir together the mayonnaise, almond milk, parsley, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the lemon-pepper "chicken": Pour enough oil to reach halfway up the sides of a cast-iron skillet. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack.
• Make the "buttermilk" by stirring together the almond milk and vinegar in a shallow dish. Let stand, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes to develop a tangy flavor. Combine the flour, cornstarch, lemon-pepper seasoning and salt and pepper to taste in a separate shallow dish.
• Dip the tofu strips in the "buttermilk," then dredge in the flour mixture. Fry, in batches, turning occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain on a wire rack and sprinkle with additional lemon-pepper seasoning while still hot. Serve hot with the ranch dip.
