What should it look like:
I'm not sure. But I assume amazing.
What did it look like:
What went well:
I cooked the steak perfectly this time thanks to a cooking thermometer I picked up.
The sauce was zomgamazing!
What went wrong:
I underdid the potatoes again. This is my oven's fault. I am calling the landlord tomorrow.
I burnt the butter in the sauce because the pan was too hot. Also, the pot I put into oven, was not meant to go in an oven. Yum... melted plastic handle.
What did I learn:
- Cooking thermometers are great until I get good at pressing the meat with my finger and figuring it out.
- Bay leaves are very aromatic and can add flavor to things through that aroma.
- Careful on putting butter into a pan that is too hot.
- Some things are not oven safe.
General Thoughts:
This was a very good recipe, and I improved on my multitasking. I was able to do the steak, sauce, and potatoes all in the 45 minutes the recipe suggested I needed.
I think the sauce was kind of a weird color probably because I burnt the butter. It still tasted great, but without a picture I am not sure if the sauce looks right.
I replaced the green peppercorns with white peppercorns because I couldn't find green ones, yet I still wanted it to be exotic. I'll try this again some day with the green ones to see if it tastes any better.
The taste of the suace was out of this world. Props to Chef Alex on this one!
