Steak

Cognac Sauce

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Cooking the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the hanger steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and sear for about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest.

Making the Cognac Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms and Shallots

    In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced shallots. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned.

  2. 4

    Deglaze with Cognac

    Add the cognac to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

  3. 5

    Add Broth and Cream

    Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly, then stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Cook for another minute.

Preparing the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a pot, boil the quartered potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Plating

  1. 8

    Serve

    Slice the rested steak and plate it with the mashed potatoes. Spoon the cognac sauce over the steak and serve immediately.
