Steak

Mashed Potatoes

Demi Glace

Method

Prepare the Steak

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Generously season the KC Strip steaks with salt and black pepper. Crush the pink peppercorns and press them onto both sides of the steaks to create a crust.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Remove from skillet and let rest.

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, smoked cheddar cheese, horseradish, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Prepare the Demi Glace

  1. 5

    Make the Glace

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent. Stir in red wine and beef stock, and add thyme. Bring to a simmer and reduce until thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested steak and serve alongside the smoked cheddar horseradish mashed potatoes. Drizzle the demi glace over the steak and potatoes.
