11/21/21 ROASTED RIB EYE STEAK “MARCHAND DE VINS” WITH WATERCRESS AND GROSSI’S POTATOES, PEAS, AND BACON
This week’s entry is rib eye from Sunday Suppers at page 260. Suzanne Goin says this dish was inspired by Julia Child’s steak recipe. This is the recipe that I have made the most often. Everyone in my family loves it. Suzanne recommends that you turn off your smoke alarms before making this dish. I set off my smoke alarms the first time I made this dish when I did not take her advice. The recipe calls for putting a cast iron pan on high heat for eight minutes before you put the meat in. When the meat is added, there’s lots of smoke. I recommend opening doors and windows too. Grossi’s potatoes are Swiss, and the recipe comes from one of Suzanne Goin’s sous chefs, Corina Weible. They are crisp sautéed potatoes with a coating of bread crumbs.
I can understand why you might not remember, given how distracted you were that day, but Corina catered your Bris!
