Happy 3 month birthday to Heath! The last few months have been like a blink of an eye and we can't believe he's growing up so fast!
He loves to see everything that's going on - especially at the dinner table. And this was an especially good dinner to watch us eat! Here's another pretty quick recipe from Food & Wine.
INGREDIENTS
Three 1-pound, bone-in rib eye steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick
Kosher salt
Coarsely crushed black peppercorns
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1/3 cup brandy
3/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
Season the steaks with salt and black peppercorns and let stand for 45 minutes.
In a cast-iron skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the oil. Working in batches, cook the steaks over moderately high heat, turning once, until medium-rare, 7 minutes per batch; transfer to a board and let rest.
Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet. Add the shallots and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 2 minutes. Add the brandy and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the stock and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until slightly reduced, 3 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Season the sauce with salt.
Slice the steak and transfer to plates or a platter. Spoon the sauce on top and serve.
HEATH UPDATE...
What a difference a month makes:
And he even has a favorite book!
It's such a joy watching him grow. I can't imagine how big he's going to be in just another 3 months!
