Step 1

First season your steak with Salt and Pepper, I’d suggest going extra heavy with the salt (you lose 30% of seasoning the second the steak hits the pan).

Step 2

Heat the oven to 275 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 3

Put the steak in the oven.

Step 4

The goal here is to make sure you pull the steak at the right temperature for your preference (I highly suggest using a meat thermometer by inserting it into the thickest part of the steak). This should be around 10 degrees below your target temperature. Rare is 120-125, medium rare is 130-135, medium is 140-145, medium well is 150-155 and well done is 160-165.

Step 5

*while the steak is in the oven I’d suggest preparing your home for a lot of smoke. This means open the windows, cover/deactivate fire alarms, turn on exhaust fans, air conditions and air purifier. You don’t have to but it’ll make your life much easier.*

Step 6

- Once the steak is out of the oven, put a dash of Avocado Oil in a skillet and crank up the heat to max. (Ideally you would use a cast iron skillet but if you don’t have one not to worry it will still turn out excellent!)

Step 7

- Once the oil is smoking, lay the steak in the pan (making sure to lay away from you in order to avoid oil splashing on to you) and let it cook.

Step 8

- Flip after 1 min and 20 seconds

Step 9

- Let the other side cook for 1 min and 20 seconds

Step 10

- Once done flip the steak 1 more time and reduce the heat to a medium to low flame and add the butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme. (We reduce the heat as we don’t want the butter to burn)

Step 11

- Baste for 30 seconds

Step 12

- Flip the steak

Step 13

- Baste for 30 seconds

Step 14

- And you are done! Take the steak out of the pan and place it on a cutting board to rest. Make sure not to touch it for at least 5 mins, after that feel free to slice and enjoy.

Step 15

- Once the steak is removed from the pan, over a medium heat, add the peppercorns and let them toast

Step 16

- Add the shallots and sauté till translucent

Step 17

- Add a splash of beef stock

Step 18

- Add heavy cream

Step 19

- let the sauce reduce to a slightly thick creamy texture

Step 20

- Add salt and pepper to taste

Step 21

- serve hot and enjoy it with the steak and as a dipping sauce for the fries

Step 22

- Bring water to a boil in a pot

Step 23

Skin potatoes and slice them into fries, any shape that you like

Step 24

Now put the cut fries into boiling water for 5 mins (this will help to remove the starch from the fries as well begin to cook the potatoes)

Step 25

Remove from the pot and let them rest until not to warm to touch

Step 26

Deep fry in hot canola oil until golden and crispy

Step 27

Season generously with salt and serve
