STEAK AU POIVRE WITH ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the peppercorns: Preheat the oven to 300˚ F. Bring a small pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Put the peppercorns in a fine-mesh sieve and add to the water; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sieve and let the peppercorns drain. Spread the peppercorns on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake until dry, 8 to 10 minutes. (Cooking the peppercorns mellows out their strong flavor.)
• Roast the potatoes: Raise the oven temperature to 375˚ F. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil in a large bowl and season with kosher salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the pan. Put the baking sheet in the center of the oven and roast until the potatoes are browned and tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Season the steaks: While the potatoes cook, use the bottom of a small skillet to crush the peppercorns on the baking sheet - they should break into coarse crumbs. Season the steaks on both sides with kosher salt, then press them into the crushed peppercorns.
• Cook the steaks: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it begins to visibly smoke. Shut the heat off underneath the skillet and use a pair of tongs to place the steaks in the pan in a single layer. Turn the heat to medium and brown the steaks on the first side, 4 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness. (Resist the temptation to turn them over or move them as they cook!) Flip the steaks using the tongs and brown on the second side, 4 to 6 more minutes. Take the temperature of the steaks using a meat thermometer. Rare registers between 125˚ F and 130˚ F; medium rare is 130˚ F to 135˚ F; and medium is 135˚ F to 140˚ F. Place the steaks on a rack set on a baking sheet to rest while you make your sauce.
• Make the sauce: Remove the excess grease from the skillet. Add the butter and shallots and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook until the liquid reduces almost completely, about 1 minute. Whisk in the mustard and Worcestershire sauce, then add the stock and reduce until decently thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary.
• Serve the steaks: Place the steaks on plates and spoon the sauce on top. Arrange the potatoes next to the steaks. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
