Steak CC for Gerry’s Birthday
If you ever want steak and potatoes at my house, this is the dish to ask for: Steak CC.
Just be careful. It is NOT heart-healthy unless you show restraint.
It’s not easy to show restraint.
Imagine if you will a pepper-crusted steak, pan-seared until it’s just perfectly shy of medium-rare served with a pan sauce. But the pan sauce is made with Canadian Club and a creamy blue cheese like Thornloe’s Devil’s Rock and finished with a splash or two of cream.
This is best served with new potatoes boiled with their skins on and a heavy leafy green like rapini or broccolini, and a nice rich heavy red wine.
That is, pretty much the recipe in loose terms. Some day, if you would like, I’ll share it in specifics.
looks yummy. i think i am going to have steak this weekend!
thanks Candace.
Steak CC is an evolution of the standard peppercorn steak but using Canadian Club. Then after deglazing, intensifying the sauce with a creamy blue cheese. We serve it with boiled baby potatoes and either broccoli or green beans tossed in garlic.
It’s usually what Gerry asks for on his b’day.
