Bone In Rib Eye With Green Peppercorn Pan Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Add olive oil to pan after removing beef. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme; saute for 1 to 2 minutes, then, off heat, add brandy and flambe using a long kitchen match. After flame dies down, return to the heat, add stock and reduce by about half. Strain out solids, then add 2 cups cream and mustard. Reduce by half again, then shut off heat and add green peppercorns.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Set a 10-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the steak with the salt and pepper. Add the oil to the pan, and, once hot, place the steak, fat side down, in the hot pan. Sear the steak until well caramelized and most of the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Turn the steak over and sear for 5 minutes on each of the other 3 remaining sides. Once seared on all sides, place the steak on a small baking sheet and roast in the oven until an instant read thermometer inserted into its center registers 135 degrees F, about 1 hour.
• Remove the steak from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing in half, and slicing each half into strips that run across the grain. Serve with the Creamed Spinach and Potato Gratin.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 4-cup baking dish or ramekin with the butter and set aside.
• Place the spinach and enough water to cover the bottom of a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat, cover tightly, and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.
• Bring the cream to a low boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from the heat. Whisk the cornstarch and milk in a small bowl until smooth to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the hot cream and return to medium heat, whisking until the mixture thickens and starts to boil, about 1 minute. Add the Parmesan, salt, and pepper and whisk until smooth. Add the cooked spinach and, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, return to a boil, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
• Pour the spinach into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the Cheddar evenly over the top, and bake until the cheese is melted, 5 to 6 minutes. Serve hot.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the cream and yolks together. Whisk well. Season with salt and pepper. Butter a square baking dish. Lay a layer of the potatoes over the bottom of the pan. Season the layer with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/8 of the cheese. Ladle 1 cup of the cream mixture over the cheese. Lay another layer of the potatoes over the cream mixture. Using your hands, firmly press the layers together. Repeat the above process with the remaining ingredients. Place a piece of parchment paper over the potatoes and cover with foil. Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to cook for 15 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly on the top. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• For the onion confit: Heat a large enameled cast-iron pot over medium heat. Add the butter; when it begins to foam, add the red onions, marjoram, thyme, bay leaves and sugar, and sprinkle liberally with salt. When the onions begin to caramelize, add the red wine and balsamic vinegar and reduce to dry. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 cup of the beef stock; cook until reduced to a glaze. Repeat until all the beef stock has been used. Turn off the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• For the rib-eye: Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat; add the oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. When the oil is just below smoking, place the steak into the pan. Once a nice sear has developed, flip the steak and add the butter, thyme and garlic. If the garlic or steak begins to burn, reduce the heat. Cook, basting the steak with the bubbling butter, until an internal temperature of 125 degrees F has been reached for medium-rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 7 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the French onion confit.
• Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with room temperature water and season liberally with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender. Drain the potatoes, saving 1/2 cup of the cooking water for thinning out if needed.
• Pass the potatoes through a food mill into a large bowl. Add the butter and heavy cream, and fold together with a spatula until combined. Fold in the shredded cheese. If the potatoes get too thick, thin them out with a little of the cooking water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve garnished with chives and a drizzle of olive oil.
