@bengingi: You don’t need a reservation—just a good pan and good taste. Sometimes the only answer is steak frites with creamy peppercorn sauce. Thin, crispy frites. A perfectly seared steak. And that dreamy sauce—brandy or cognac, cream, shallots, and a mountain of crushed peppercorns. I made it all with my full @HexClad lineup—pan, pot, knives, cutting board. I use HexClad daily for a reason: it performs like nothing else. When I care about the dish, this is what I reach for. Full recipe is on my website BenGingi.com YASSS!
