Steak and Dauphinoise Potatoes

On Friday night we had steak and dauphinoise potatoes. We were worried that we wouldn’t get to our butcher before they closed on the way back from work, so I called them and they were nice enough to cut us two nice ribeye steaks and leave them at the deli next door for us to pick up when we got there. A good thing we did that rather than relying on supermarket steak, because they were really tasty.

The dauphinoise potatoes didn’t turn out as well as we’d hoped. They were both dry and a bit undercooked. Our timer is a bit broken and plays tricks on us, but I’m sure I double checked. Also, I was a bit worried about making it too wet (because that’s what happened last time we did it) so probably put in too little cream. We did get to use our new teal Le Creuset dish though, so it wasn’t entirely a disaster.

We also had some sauteed mushrooms and caramelised onions. And I had mushroom ketchup on my steak. Mmmmmm steak.
