Ribeye Steak

Method

Preparing the Ribeye Steak

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned ribeye steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.

Making the Brandy Cream Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same skillet used for the steak, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Brandy

    Carefully add brandy to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the steak. Allow to simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in chopped parsley before serving.

Preparing Truffle Fries

  1. 6

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 7

    Toss the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the cut russet potatoes with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.

  3. 8

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 9

    Finish with Truffle Oil and Parmesan

    Once baked, drizzle with truffle oil and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.
