Chef's Vegetable

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a large bowl, combine the red wine, beef broth, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed. Place the rib-eye steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature (about 30 minutes). Sear the steak for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Make the Demi-Glace

    In a saucepan over medium heat, strain the marinade (to remove solids) and simmer it for about 15-20 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly. This will be your red wine demi-glace. Serve drizzled over the sliced steak.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Chef's Vegetable Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Wash and trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  2. 7

    Cook the Asparagus

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the asparagus. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
