Steak

Mashed Potatoes

Green Beans

Peppercorn Brandy Sauce

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the ribeye steak with salt and crush the black peppercorns. Press the crushed peppercorns onto both sides of the steak.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Add butter during the last minute of cooking for flavor.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a pot and cover with water.

  2. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.

  3. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, heavy cream, and salt to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Green Beans

  1. 6

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse under cold water.

  2. 7

    Cook the Green Beans

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add green beans, salt, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Peppercorn Brandy Sauce

  1. 8

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the steak, add brandy and cook for 1-2 minutes to deglaze the pan.

  2. 9

    Finish the Sauce

    Add beef stock, heavy cream, and peppercorns. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Season with salt to taste.
