Daniel Boulud - Ribeye

[ecowper]

Not BBQ, but fantastic demonstration by an amazing cook, of how to cook a great steak.

[Jerod Broussard]

Came for the steak....stayed for the accent.

[ecowper]

That was a great piece of this

[briano52]

Isn't accent the same as MSG?

[yakima]

Oh my. Very nice. Thank you.

Seems like all the great chefs cook their steaks in a pan.

[ecowper]

Chef Jean-Pierre is also a pan guy

[Jerod Broussard]

If it can nail salmon it can nail steak.

Boiled is awesome! I went to Restaurant Daniel years ago for my birthday. I bought his cookbook and he came out and wrote a little note and signed it. Love that guy!

Edit: Boulud!!

[Huskee]

I'll take your word for it that a boiled steak is awesome.

[JCBBQ]

Huskee haha! Whoops. Dang auto correct.

[RonB]

Now I'm hungry...

[CaptainMike]

That was fun.

[Alan Brice]

Watercress! Very nice addition to the (pepper) au poivre.
Excellent video, love the accent as well.

Here's an updated version.

For the Steaks:

• 1 tablespoon Clarified Butter (or cooking oil like Avocado or Vegetable Oil)
• 2 teaspoons Cracked Black Peppercorn
• 2-8 to 10 ounces NY Strip (or your favorite steak)
• 2 tablespoons Cognac (optional)
• ½ cup Rich Veal or Beef Stock
• ¼ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1 tablespoon Green Peppercorn without the brine soaked in Cognac (optional)
• 2 tablespoons at least Sweet Butter

For the Zucchini Julienne:

• 1 tablespoon Sweet Butter
• 1 or 2 Zucchinis depending on their size cut into thick julienne
• 1 tablespoon Sundried Tomatoes chopped
• 1 tablespoon Shallots chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic chopped
• Salt and Pepper to taste

For the Potatoes:

• 12 small Potatoes peeled
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Prepare the Steaks:
If you have the time, salt your steaks on both sides and set in the fridge on a rack not covered and leave them for at least 4 hours up to 48 hours.
Preheat Oven to 500ºF
The next day or when ready to cook, cover the steak generously with cracked black pepper.
In a stainless steel or cast iron sauté pan, heat clarified butter. When hot (400ºF) add the steak, and cook on the stove top until golden brown on one side at Least 3 to 4 minutes. DO NOT TOUCH THEM. Flip them on other side and for a couple minutes and transfer to the oven and cook for a few more minutes depending on how thick and how your like your meat cook.
Remove them from oven and let them rest on a plate for a few minutes while you make the sauce.
In the same pan, carefully deglaze the pan with the cognac, stock, cream and the peppercorns (if you have them) bring to boil and let it reduce for a few minutes until it has reached the right consistency. Turn off the heat and add as much butter as you wish!
Spoon sauce over steaks and serve immediately.
Prepare the Zucchini Julienne:
In a Non Stick Fry Pan, heat the butter, when hot add the zucchini and sauté for a couple minutes. Add the shallots and sundried tomatoes. When they are cooked (tender but not too soft) add the garlic and the last minute.
Prepare the Potatoes:
Poach the potatoes until they are fully cooked, drain them and place them on a paper towel to make sure they are dry.
In a small Non Stick Fry Pan, heat the butter and when hot add your potatoes and cook them until light golden brown on all sides.

yeah, Chef JP cooks great steaks, too

[Huskee]

My wife suggested smash burgers for dinner tonight but now I'm really leaning toward steak....[drool]. Funny how he called a truffle a root vegetable though.

[Uncle Bob]

Root hog or die! Yeah, another well dated expression...

[Jfrosty27]

Man. I just had breakfast but now I’m hungry again! Yum.

I’m way too lazy to cook that dish as he did, but boy I would love to eat it!!! 👍

[Huskee]

Hey at the end he says just call him and he'll come to your home and make it for you. I'm sure it would be affordable!
