I love me some steak au poivre.
Had it at Bistro Bistrot, but alas, it's not a steakhouse that does a nice crust on their steak.
I should make that again.
It's been about a year since I've had one.

Oysters Rockefeller
Again, photos by Ronin.
Bitchwork by ifucare. As usual, I made him work for his meal
Oysters, freshly shucked, par-cooked with garlic and shallots.
Shells, cleaned. Lined with blanched spinach and crispy crumbled bacon.
Oyster liquor is added to a lemon cream reduction.
Oysters went back on top of this.
Top off oysters with remaining cream reduction.
Bake
(I had to torch them because my oven is old and has no broiler).
Toasted panko, parsley and bacon in a bit of bacon fat to form a crispy crumble.
I got sloppy, crumble is a bit burnt.
