INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Season the steaks liberally with salt and 5-peppercorn mix. On a hot
grill, mark the steaks and cook each side about 4 to 5 minutes. I
prefer medium rare, which takes about 8 minutes total. Make sure to
let the steaks rest after grilling for about 3 minutes to let the  meat
relax.  For the Shallot-Pommery Sauce: In a 1-quart stainless steel
saucepan,  add 1 tablespoon of butter and caramelize the shallots.
Season. Add  the red wine and reduce until almost dry. Add the mustard
and saute  for 2 minutes then add the cream. Heat the cream until hot,
but not  boiling. Pour into a blender and blend at high speed. Add the
remaining butter and check for seasoning. Keep warm in a water bath.
For the Spinach-Shiitake-Potato Gratin Dauphinoise: Pre-heat the oven
to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, mix everything together. Taste the
cream for proper seasoning. Dump contents in a baking dish with at
least a 2-inch lip. Make sure the cream covers the mixture. Bake in
oven for 30 minutes, then stir well. Bake another 45 minutes until
cream is thickened and potatoes are soft.  For the Crispy Onions:
Completely coat the onions in flour and deep  fry at 350 degrees until
golden brown. Lightly sprinkle salt.  For The Mustard Oil: In a bowl,
whisk mustard, turmeric and salt with  water to form a paste. Whisk in
oil and let stand overnight. Mixture  will separate, don't remix before
using, you want to use the clear  flavored oil off the top.  Plating:
Cut the gratin with a ring mold and place in the center of a  plate.
Spoon shallot-pommery sauce around the gratin. Slice the steak  and
encircle the gratin. Garnish with crispy onions and mustard oil.  This
recipe yields 4 servings.  Source: "EAST MEETS WEST with Ming Tsai -
