Rib Eye Steak Au Poivre Food

PAN-SEARED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Place a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Bring the steak to room temperature.
• When the oven reaches temperature, remove the skillet and place on the range over high heat for 5 minutes. Coat the steak lightly with oil and sprinkle both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper.
• Immediately place the steak in the middle of the hot, dry skillet. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium-rare steak. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)
• Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.

STEAK AU POIVRE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Season both sides of steak with salt. Brush with Dijon mustard, reserving extra for sauce. In a pie tin place peppercorns and press steaks in to coat each side with about a 1/4 cup; if you have time, set aside. In a saute pan heat 1 tablespoon oil to smoking. Cook steaks for 3 minutes on first side, turn and cook 3 more minutes. Transfer steaks to pie tin and roast in oven 4 minutes for rare, 8 for medium-rare, and so on. Meanwhile, wipe excess fat and loose pepper from saute pan. Reheat pan with 1 teaspoon oil, add shallots, toss and cook for 1 minute. Carefully add brandy to pan. Note: IT WILL IGNITE. Allow brandy to burn off and add garlic, remaining mustard and veal stock. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half. Stir in heavy cream and continue to reduce for 2 minutes. Stir in butter and adjust seasonings.
• Remove steaks to serving plates, spoon sauce over and garnish with parsley. We like to serve this with crispy fried shoestring potatoes.

FRENCH PEPPER STEAK (STEAK AU POIVRE) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Liberally season steak with salt and pepper, being sure to coat the entire surface of the meat. Using your hands, press the seasoning into the meat to create an even coating.
• Heat the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add the steak to the pan and sear for 4 minutes. Turn and sear the other side for another 4 minutes, for medium-rare. If steak has a fat-cap on its side, be sure to sear it as well for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Once cooked to desired doneness, transfer the steak to a cutting board to rest.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the brandy to the skillet. Allow the brandy to cook down for about 1 minute while using a whisk to scrape off any browned bits in the bottom of the pan. Once the brandy has reduced by half, add the cream and continue to whisk until combined. Add the Dijon mustard and remaining tablespoon of butter and continue to cook until mixture begins to reduce and thicken, 5-7 minutes. The final pan sauce should have a rich consistency and coat the back of a spoon. Reduce the heat to low.
• Slice the steak into ½-inch (1.5cm) pieces. Pour cream sauce over the top and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix the peppercorns together on a plate. Season the steaks with salt then press lightly into the peppercorns on both sides. Place on a hot grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning once for medium-rare. Let rest 3 minutes before serving.
• For the aioli: In a food processor, add roasted garlic cloves, dijon and yolks. While processor is on, drizzle in oil, slowly at first until it emulsifies then more quickly. Add juice, salt and pepper and pulse to incorporate. Check for seasoning. Store in fridge.
• For the fries: Bake the potatoes until fully cooked (about 45 minutes at 350 degrees, knife should slide off potato when pricked). In a sauce pan, add cream and garlic and reduce by 50 per cent on low heat, about 15 to 20 minutes. With a hand blender, mix well and check for seasoning. When the potatoes can be handled, scoop out flesh into a bowl. Fold in the cream, scallions and butter and hand mash. You can use a mixer fitted with a paddle. Check for seasoning. Spread mash on 1/2 sheet tray, 1/2" thick. Cover with plastic, top with another tray and press firmly. Chill overnight in the fridge. You may freeze the mash in 4 hours. Slice rectangular 'fries' (3x1/2x1/2). Dredge in flour, egg then panko. Fry at 350 degrees until GB & D, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• For the salad: On 4 large plates, spread out the tomato like carpaccio slices. Drizzle lightly with oil and vinegar and season with Salt and pepper.

STEAK AU POIVRE WITH ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the peppercorns: Preheat the oven to 300˚ F. Bring a small pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Put the peppercorns in a fine-mesh sieve and add to the water; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sieve and let the peppercorns drain. Spread the peppercorns on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake until dry, 8 to 10 minutes. (Cooking the peppercorns mellows out their strong flavor.)
• Roast the potatoes: Raise the oven temperature to 375˚ F. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil in a large bowl and season with kosher salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the pan. Put the baking sheet in the center of the oven and roast until the potatoes are browned and tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Season the steaks: While the potatoes cook, use the bottom of a small skillet to crush the peppercorns on the baking sheet - they should break into coarse crumbs. Season the steaks on both sides with kosher salt, then press them into the crushed peppercorns.
• Cook the steaks: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it begins to visibly smoke. Shut the heat off underneath the skillet and use a pair of tongs to place the steaks in the pan in a single layer. Turn the heat to medium and brown the steaks on the first side, 4 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness. (Resist the temptation to turn them over or move them as they cook!) Flip the steaks using the tongs and brown on the second side, 4 to 6 more minutes. Take the temperature of the steaks using a meat thermometer. Rare registers between 125˚ F and 130˚ F; medium rare is 130˚ F to 135˚ F; and medium is 135˚ F to 140˚ F. Place the steaks on a rack set on a baking sheet to rest while you make your sauce.
• Make the sauce: Remove the excess grease from the skillet. Add the butter and shallots and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook until the liquid reduces almost completely, about 1 minute. Whisk in the mustard and Worcestershire sauce, then add the stock and reduce until decently thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary.
• Serve the steaks: Place the steaks on plates and spoon the sauce on top. Arrange the potatoes next to the steaks. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
