replace olive oil with butter and knock off that 'medium'.

I'd also advise wedges and caramelizing some onion. All the normal shit, like cooking from room temp. still applies.

One time I put the raw steak on top of my computer for a while and cooked it from above-room-temp. and the results were pretty good, but I've only done it once, so I've no repeat data on the results.

Potato, cut lengthwise into (about) eight wedge shaped pieces, cooked (deep frying is pretty good)

Shit man, that looks tasty. Are the farthest ones sweet potatoes?

FIIK, man, just found the pic online.

I expect it's all regular potatoes.

Pioneer Woman says preheat oven to 450f, slice potatoes into wedges, toss in bowl with olive oil, then salt & pepper, arrange on baking sheet, oven for 15 mins, shake, oven for 20 minutes, then herb (parsley, etc).

(That's a different preparation than pic. They can also be battered and fried, fried without batter… lots of things.)

if sauces are your thing

1) heat up a bit of olive oil in a pan (just cover the bottom, no big puddles) till the point of evaporation. drop some crushed peppercorn in while you're at it

2) toss in a glug or two of brandy when the pan is hot enough but beware, you'll need about 4ft vertically for the rising flames. don't forget to keep it somewhat over the stove so you can keep that pan hot

3) After the brandy has burned off, douse the pan in heavy whipping cream (not whipped cream but the liquid shit that's thicker than milk). A quart should do but the more the merrier

4) add beef bouillon to taste (specifically the one attached, I never wander from that brand. Available anywhere as far as I know in the soup section)

5) Stir it up, color will go from white->peanut butter brown. Be careful at 680mg sodium/tsp

6) Turn heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes (I usually get the sauce going and then start the steak, to allow time for maximum reduction. It's only supposed to be a garnish, but it makes a better gravy)

7) Drizzle on steak (also works with any pork), potatoes, your dick, whatever your fancy. You will eat whatever it is put on, I guarantee it

jesus fam what a thrashed method. i can't even tell what sauce you're trying to approximate. based on the mention of peppercorns it may be sauce au poivre. anyway, in the pan you cooked your steak in (you want the fond) gently sautee brunoised shallots and garlic until it sweats. add a teaspoon of dijon mustard, as well as green peppercorns if you have them. get a touch of color on it, then deglaze with a 1/4 shot of brandy or cognac. when the flambe subsides but it still has some amount of liquid to it, add heavy cream over a low flame and reduce by about 1/3. round off with a touch of demi glace and right before you serve mount it with butter.

Iron chef battle!

I recommend a flat iron steak with shallots. Cheap and delicious.

Shallots:

Julienne and simmer in a covered pan with olive oil salt and pepper until translucent and soft. They will steam in their own juices. Move them around so they do not stick to the pan and burn. When done, set aside.

Flat iron steak:

Allow meat to warm to room temperature (much more tender) and pound it to tenderize. Salt and pepper on steak, no oil needed. Heat cast iron pan to 500-600 degrees. Sear each side once. Remove steak from pan, toss cooked shallots into pan where steak was cooked, deglaze with wine of choice. Add butter. Pour shallots over steak. Enjoy.

You shouldn't need olive oil because of the fat in the meat. When you hear it up, it will release the fat as a liquid that acts much like on oil.

As for seasoning, I recommend putting in some onion slices and/or garlic cloves.

Cook on low heat for 12 minutes and flip.

I should disclose I'm in no way, shape or form, a professional, haha. My brother got the recipe from his work in the catering business and handed it down to me, I just simplified it bc I'm a lazy asshat who is slow with a knife. We've always known it as "brandy peppercorn sauce" but sauce au poivre is definitely the correct terminology, thanks for that tidbit of enlightenment. I'll have to revise my method, practice my knifemenship

>>6360

De gustibus non est disputandem! (In taste, there is no argument). Every single pleb in the history of ever would lick my sauce off their plate in a second but a seasoned chef (lul) would be like "yeah that's just cream and salt" (dubble lul) At any rate I'm always game! It would be a baptism by fire into 8ch for me as these were my first posts. Never realized how simple it was ie never realized how retarded I am

I made do with what I have and it turned out delicious! Didn't cook the peppers, and I only had red onion, but hot damn is this good!

Cheers, anon.

why pound the steak? Any decent steak should be lovely and tender, beating it up would only mush up the fibres.


 No.8410

I make my steaks like this - feel free to call me an idiot, but they come out really well:

>use canola oil

>then put steak on pan

>cook for about three minutes

>flip

>cook for about 2-3 minutes

>put some butter in the pan

>make sure it gets all around the underside of the steak

>flip and cook for about another 30 seconds

>tip pan to one side and all the butter runs there

>grab the steak and just sort of let it soak in there

>then eat
