Fancy Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250°F
• Place cubed potatoes in a saucepan with 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt, 2 to 3 cloves of peeled garlic, and enough water to cover the potatoes in the pan. Set the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are fork tender. About 8-10 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Set the pot over low heat and stir the potatoes to dry them out. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher (see note).
• Add 3 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons heavy cream and stir the potatoes with a wooden spoon until creamy. Gradually add more butter and cream a little at a time until your desired consistency.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover with foil and place in the oven to keep warm
• While the potatoes are boiling, set a cast iron skillet over mid-high heat to get the pan screaming hot – about 5 minutes.
• While the skillet is heating, season the steaks with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper on both sides of both steaks.
• Add 1 tablespoon ghee (or oil) to the hot skillet and immediately put the seasoned steaks in the skillet. Let sear for 4 minutes and then turn over. The steak should have a nice crust on the one side at this point.
• Add 4 tablespoons of butter, a few cloves of garlic and a couple sprigs of thyme to the skillet and let the steaks sear another 4 minutes while using a spoon to baste the steaks with the butter in the skillet.
• Check the internal temperature of the steaks with an instant read thermometer. For mid rare cook to no more than 120°F and remove them from the heat to rest 10 minutes.
• If your steak needs more cook time, transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 3-5 more minutes until it reaches the desired temperature.
• When the steaks are ready, remove the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes.
• While the steaks are resting, prepare the green beans.
• Add about 2 inches of water in a sauce pan and set a steamer basket on top.
• Put trimmed green beans in the steamer basket and season with salt.
• Put the lid on the steamer basket and set the pan over mid-high heat.
• Cook 8-10 minutes until desired tenderness.
• When the green beans are done, remove them from the heat to a serving dish.
• Make garlic butter in a microwave safe dish with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/8 teaspoon freshly minced garlic and a pinch of salt. Microwave about 20 seconds until butter is melted. Stir to combine and pour desired amount over green beans. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• While green beans are cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter & a pinch of salt over medium heat in the same skillet you cooked the steaks. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they release their juices. About 5-8 minutes.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve mushrooms over steak
