Steak

Peppercorn Sauce

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Add olive oil to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Place the seasoned ribeye steaks on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 6

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain and pat dry the potato strips. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 9

    Season the Fries

    Remove fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.

Peppercorn Sauce Preparation

  1. 10

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

  2. 11

    Add Peppercorns

    Add the green peppercorns and sauté for about 1 minute.

  3. 12

    Pour in Beef Broth

    Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer, allowing it to reduce by half.

  4. 13

    Add Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  5. 14

    Season the Sauce

    Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
