Dinner - Steak Au Poivre with Roasted Potatoes & Beets

I used the recipe from Alton Brown with one substitution - Cognac subbed with Wild Turkey Honey Liqueur

Medium rare = 4 minutes on each side for a 3/4 to 1 inch thick steak

Since I was out running errands after work, I didn't slow roast the potatoes but shortcut it with 8 minutes in the microwave first (whole potatoes) then cut them in the 6 pieces each, added grapeseed oil, salt and black pepper and popped them in the oven at 425° F for 40-45 minutes

A simple can of beets can be turned into a lovely little side, sauted in a pan with salt, black pepper and a pat of butter
