SICHUAN STEAK AU POIVRE WITH SCALLION MASHED POTATOES
Steak au Poivre is a steakhouse staple of a black pepper covered filet. This recipe turns up the flavor -- and the tingle -- by adding Sichuan peppercorns in with black peppercorns. The side of creamy scallion mashed potatoes will make you forget all about the steakhouse.

Steps:
- Gather your ingredients.
- For the potatoes: Quarter the potatoes. Place potatoes and garlic, crushed away from skins, in a pot. Cover with cold water, cover and bring to a boil. When they boil, remove the lid, salt the water and cook to tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and rice into pot using a food mill or ricer.
- Meanwhile, warm half-n-half or milk and butter in a small pot over medium-low heat. Finely chop the scallions, whites and greens.
- For the steaks: Coarsely grind the peppercorns in mortar with pestle. Pat steaks dry, season with kosher salt and rub with peppercorn mixture. Let stand 10 minutes.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Peel and finely chop the shallots. Peel ginger with tip of a teaspoon and have a fine grater on hand. Crush the garlic and discard skins and root.
- To skillet add EVOO, 1 turn of the pan, and melt in 1 tablespoon butter. Add steaks and cook 2 to 3 minutes to brown. Flip and cook 2 minutes more. Remove to platter. Add 2 tablespoons butter and when it foams add the shallots, garlic and grate in the ginger. Stir a minute or 2, then add sherry or cognac or brandy, stir, and add bone broth. Reduce by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with creme fraiche to taste. Add beef back to pan and turn to warm in the sauce.
- Add hot milk and scallions to potatoes and season with salt and white pepper to taste.
- Place steaks on plates, top with sauce and cress and scallion potatoes alongside.
