steak and potatoes

i was at the store and wanted something that wouldn't require alot of work, so i decided on a steak and potato dish. i picked up a nice hand cut piece of top round, it can be a tougher piece of meat, but if cooked the right way and cut against the grain, you get some good steak at a more reasonable price. here i pan seared the outside on high heat using my grill pan and then finished it off on a low temp in the broiler cooked to medium rare doneness. while the steak was cooking boiled some yukon gold creamers with the skin until fork tender. mash those babies up with some butter, cream and sour cream. add some chopped chives and season with salt and pepper. for the veggies i picked up some broccolini, it's like broccoli, but so much more tender: BROCCOLINI. i did the normal fair of sauteing them with garlic and added fresh lemon juice right at the end with some lemon zest. the steak is paired with a thyme peppercorn sauce: garlic, shallots, peppercorns (roughly crushed), beef stock, red wine, fresh thyme and cream. it's your regular steak and potato dish with a few twists.
