Steak au Poivre

Steak Frites, probably my favorite meal of all time. Tender steak, a complex brandy peppercorn sauce, and shatteringly crispy fried potatoes.

Daniel's recipe calls for tenderloin- which is what I made for my wife. I chose Onglet (hanger) for a change of pace.

My only other addition to the recipe is adding some of the (rehydrated) dehydrated green peppercorns that I brought back from France. In my opinion a worthwhile and nearly necessary addition given the complexity it adds to an otherwise relatively 2-dimensional sauce.

Added bonus is Kenji's thin and crispy fries recipe, which followed closely yields some amazing homemade fries.
