And ricing is totally the way to go for potatoes, no doubt! I have chef's block right now...just feeling uninspired. Got a boatload of ramps in the fridge I'm hoping will get me out of my funk. Thanks for this post, it makes me feel better that others go through it, too. Lovely steaks. And ricing is totally the way to go for potatoes, no doubt!

You could also just leave them out and the sauce will still be good from the shallots and the fond on the pan. Sure, just replace the mushrooms, with leeks or ramps.

Having said that I hardly ever have steak. Now, (slightly hungover) your post is making me crave the stuff. I keep meaning to get myself a ricer but they're damn expensive! I quite like Marsala to deglaze after cooking a steak (it's funny, cognac always makes me think of Busta Rhymes or Snoop Dogg or something...) So not mundane (I see I agree with everyone here).

I thing i need help with stinging nettle. hehe. I like the use of Shimeji mushrooms there. Can't go wrong with a steak seared to perfection served with a mushroom sauce. A potato ricer is a must to make perfect gnocchi as well. Good, i’m glad to know i’m not the only one suffering from chef’s-block once in a while. I thing i need help with stinging nettle. hehe.

For steaks I put them in the pan dry which gives them a nicer crust and avoids the smoking problem. Yea, we have the same fake hood problem here.

It's only in this past year that I've become happy with making steak in the house. While I still prefer grilling, I've come to like this method of searing on cast iron pan then popping into oven. Now I just wish I had a proper hood vent, cause yesterday (I made a killer grass-fed ny strip steak) we ended up opening the doors to outside :) I finally went out and bought some more grapeseed oil so I had an oil that can handle high heat.
