ONE PAN NEW YORK STRIP STEAKS & CRISPY POTATOES & SAUCE

Steps:

• For the parsley sauce: Process all ingredients in food processor until finely chopped and well combined, about 20 seconds; set aside for serving.
• For the steak and potatoes: Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in bowl. Cover and microwave, stirring occasionally until potatoes begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes; drain well.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Lay steaks in skillet and cook until well browned on first side, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Flip steaks, reduce heat to medium and cook until meat registers 120 to 125 degrees (for medium rare), 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer steaks to cutting board, tent with aluminum foil and let rest while finishing potatoes.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to now-empty skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 10 minutes.

MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil over high heat. Peel and quarter potatoes and keep in cold water until ready to cook. (This can be done up to 4 hours in advance.) Add potatoes to boiling water and boil about 15 to 20 minutes, until soft; a knife should go in with almost no resistance. (It is better to overcook than to undercook.)
• In a saucepan or a microwave oven, heat butter and milk together until butter melts and mixture steams. Drain potatoes well and return to pot. Shake them around in the hot pan or over very low heat for a minute (you want dry potatoes). Using an extruding masher or a ricer, mash hot potatoes until smooth, about 2 minutes. Lightly mix in about half of hot butter mixture, just until blended. Taste for salt and add more butter mixture until seasoned to your liking.
• Stop here for fluffy potatoes. For creamy potatoes, keep stirring potato mixture, using a sturdy spoon to press it against sides and bottom of pot. Mix until dense and thick. For whipped potatoes, use a stand mixer to mash hot potatoes just until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add all the butter mixture and salt to taste, pulsing machine in short bursts at medium speed. When light and creamy, stop mixing immediately. (Potatoes can quickly become sticky.)
• To keep hot until ready to serve, transfer to serving bowl, dot top with butter, cover tightly and keep in a warm place, like the back of the stove. Potatoes will stay hot for at least 30 minutes. To keep longer, place covered bowl in a pan holding about an inch of gently simmering water. Before serving, mix well.

MASHED POTATOES WITH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes or until tender; drain. Add butter, salt and pepper. Mash potatoes. Beat in the sour cream and horseradish.

NEW YORK STRIP WITH BEURRE MAITRE D'HOTEL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the meat with Essence, salt, and pepper, on both sides. Place on the hot grill and cook to desired doneness, turning once, about 1 hour 30 minutes or until medium rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, or 140 degrees F for medium. (Alternately, roast on a rack set on a baking sheet for 15 minutes in a 450 degree F oven. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes for medium-rare.)
• Remove from oven or grill; let stand 20 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices on platter and top with pats of the Beurre Maitre d'Hotel.
• Place the butter in a medium bowl and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Place on a large sheet of plastic wrap and form into a cylinder, about 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Roll up in the plastic wrap, pushing in as you go, to form a tight log. Refrigerate or freeze until needed.
• To use, unwrap, cut 1/2-inch slices, and serve on top of the New York Strip.

CHICKEN WITH GARLIC POTATOES AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Put a rimmed baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes and garlic cloves with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl; set aside.
• Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook until browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the hot baking sheet. Scatter the potatoes and garlic around the chicken; reserve the bowl. Bake until the chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil; leave the potatoes and garlic on the baking sheet.
• Add the asparagus and tomatoes to the reserved bowl; toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add to the baking sheet with the potatoes. Bake until the vegetables are tender and the tomatoes start to burst, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven; switch the oven to broil. Toss the parmesan, parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl. Nestle the chicken in the vegetables and sprinkle everything with the parmesan mixture. Broil until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

SPICE-RUBBED NY STRIP, FRIED POTATOES AND BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• For the NY strip: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix together the paprika, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Rub the spice rub on one side of the steaks and let sit 5 minutes.
• Heat a few tablespoons of canola oil in a medium cast-iron pan over high heat until smoking. Add the steaks spice rub-side down and cook, without touching, until a crust forms, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until a crust forms on the bottom, about 4 minutes.
• Add the butter and rosemary to the pan. Transfer to the oven and cook, basting occasionally with the butter, until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 130 degrees F (for medium-rare), about 10 minutes. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with some of the brown butter.
• For the crispy potatoes: Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a skewer inserted into the center meets with no resistance, about 25 minutes. Drain well and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to dry further.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch dice. Place the potatoes on a large plate or baking sheet and gently smash them a bit; season well with salt and pepper. Line another large plate or baking sheet with paper towels.
• Heat 3 inches of canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat until it registers 365 degrees F. Fry the potatoes in batches in an even layer in the pan until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon to the plate lined with paper towels and immediately season with the cheese and more salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Transfer to a platter and garnish with the parsley, oregano and pickled shallots or onions.
• For the broccoli rabe with garlic, oil and red chile: Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon of salt. Prepare an ice bath.
• Add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Remove with tongs and place directly into the ice bath. Let sit for 3 minutes, then drain well on paper towels. Reserve a cup of the cooking water.
• Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the chile flakes and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe, season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing constantly in the oil, until just warmed through and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add a bit of the cooking water if needed. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with more oil, if desired.
