Ingredients:
Directions:
Step 1: Cooking the potatoes:
-Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
-While the oven preheats, prep the potatoes by creating thin slices in the potato as deep as you can go without cutting entirely through the potato. Pro tip: The knife seems to cut through the bottom of the potato faster than the middle. To avoid slicing all the way through, slow your knife down when you reach the middle of the potato. PS. if you cut all the way the potato at some point, its not a big deal. We are just cooking food!
Step 2: Continue cooking the potatoes:
-Places herbs in as many layer of the potato as possible. Drizzle olive oil over the entire potato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and cook for 35-45 minutes or until golden and crispy. Continue on to the next step.
Step 3: Prep the steak and salad:
-While the potatoes cook, generously season the steak with salt and the cracked peppercorn (provided). Allow to sit, seasoned, until ready to cook.
-Cut the lettuce into four wedges and set aside for later.
-The next step should start about 30 minutes into the potatoes cooking.
Step 4: Cooking the steak:
About 30 minutes into the potatoes cooking, heat a frying over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, place the seasoned steak in the pan and cook to your desired doneness based off of the chart below. When done cooking, remove the steaks from the burner, transfer them to a plate, and allow the steaks to rest until you are ready to serve.
Please note: Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for
doneness sooner.
Rare - 3 minutes on each side
Medium Rare - 3.5 minutes on each side
Medium - 4 minutes on each side
Medium Well - 4.5 minutes on each side
Well done - 5 minutes on each side
Step 5: Making the sauce:
Place the same pan that you used to cook the steak over medium heat. Add the Au Poivre sauce and deglaze the pan for about 30 seconds to one minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the creme fraiche. Add two pinches of salt and stir until the sauce is fully incorporated. Once complete, taste and season to your preference.
Step 6: Finish the meal:
Once rested, slice the steak served with the au poivre sauce on top. Drizzle the tarragon dressing on top of the lettuce and serve alongside the steak and potatoes.
