Herbed Stoned Potatoes 

I am a steak and potatoes man. Whenever I share my profession with anyone, the most frequently asked question is : "What's your favorite thing to cook?" or some variation of that question. My answer is I cook everything with that same passion no matter what it is, and while that's true I think I'm freak when it comes to steak & potatoes.

There are so many different cuts to deal with from skirt, flat iron, filet mignon, sirloin and NY strip just to name a few. There are also millions of marinades but if you get a quality steak and cut there is no need to marinate steak at all. A simple hit of salt and pepper, quick sear and a short trip in the  oven should do it for you. For now Let's talk Dry Aged Beef.

Dry Aged Beef (20 days)

Dry aging beef is easy, requires very little prep, a bit of patience, a sharp knife and the bonus is that it adds flavor to a steak that is simply unmatched. The process requires that you get a thick cut of steak such as the Tomahawk Chop that is pictured above, a wire rack and drip pan to rest the steak in the refrigerator, and a sharp knife to cut the darkened part of the steak off with. Dry aging forces all of the moisture to the center of the steak and ensures a juicy steak every time out.

On The Menu Today: Dry Aged Tomahawk Chop & Herb Stoned Potatoes.

Ingredients/Process: Take the chop and place it on a wire rack being
sure to allow for an area with circulation in the refrigerator.
Leave uncovered for 3-21 Days.

Day 20

Process: Trim off the top layer down to the red part of
both sides of the meat as seen below.  

Process : Liberally season with olive oil and salt and set aside
while you prep and cook the potatoes. 

Process: Cut the potatoes in quarters and add olive oil to toss in a bowl.
Add chili flakes, paprika, tarragon,  julienned red onion salt and pepper. 

Cooking Potatoes: Add the potatoes to a Pizza Stone in an oven preheated
to 400 degrees and allow them to cook for 45-60 minutes. 

Cooking Steak: Add 3 Tbs grape seed oil to a pan or skillet on high heat.
Allow meat to sear on one side (2-3 minutes).  

Close Up. 

Cooking: Carefully flip and place in the oven with the potatoes I chose
 to add garlic and fresh time to the pan as it went in the oven.
A steak this size will take 20 minutes for Medium Rare. 

Resting: Once done allow the steak to rest at room temp for
5-7 minutes. *Keeps the steak juicy.. 

Potatoes are done when soft in the middle, finish with salt. 

Plating: Simply add the potatoes and steak to the same platter. 

* Notice I have not added amounts to the ingredients, they are your potatoes so I figured that you should add your own amounts and use the ingredients as a guideline and not a blueprint.. Enjoy your food.....
