Welcome to my blog. This is a virtual recipe box...I'm using it to keep track of all the recipes I've made and that we enjoy as a family. My first step is to load several recipes in that I've been making for the past few years...then, as I try new ones, I'll add them as well. I'll try to add pictures for each one as I make them.

Steak au Poivre with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

We've made this one several times already. The sauce is amazing--and so easy! We made it with bourbon instead of wine and loved it.

From Everyday Food, December 2011 Found here: http://www.marthastewart.com/868517/steak-au-poivre-roasted-fingerling-potatoes

Prep Time: 45 minutes
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:
3/4 pound fingerling or other small potatoes, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt
3/4 cup crushed black peppercorns
3 boneless New York strip steaks (1 inch thick; 2 pounds total), excess fat trimmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt. Roast until golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Meanwhile, spread peppercorns on a large plate. Season steaks with salt, then press into pepper, coating both sides. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter over high. In 2 batches, cook steaks until medium rare, about 8 minutes, flipping once. Let rest on a cutting board, 5 to 10 minutes.

Discard fat from skillet, lightly wipe with a paper towel to remove any loose pepper, and heat over medium. Add wine and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and cook until sauce coats back of spoon, about 4 minutes. Stir in mustard and season with salt.

Refrigerate 1 steak to use in the Steak Sandwich Wrap. Slice remaining steaks against the grain, divide among four plates, and top with sauce. Serve with potatoes and parsley.
