Gigi’s Steak and Potatoes Burgundy

8 small new potatoes
1 large onion
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
1 1/2 pounds boneless sirloin steak
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fine-quality Burgundy
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely cracked
black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
Beurre manié – 1 tablespoon flour and
1 tablespoon softened, unsalted
butter mixed to a paste

Bring 3 cups salted water to a boil. Scrub 8 small new potatoes, add them
to the water, and boil them gently, covered, for about 20 minutes, or until
they are just tender.
Peel and slice the onion. Clean, trim and halve the mushrooms. Slice the
steak into 3-by-1/2-inch strips and season it with salt and freshly ground
black pepper to taste.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet. Quickly sauté the steak
strips over high heat, turning so that the meat is browned on all sides.
Remove steak to a plate and set aside.
Add the sliced onions, mushrooms, and garlic to the skillet. Lower the heat and sauté the mixture, stirring, until vegetables are just beginning to brown, and the liquid given off by the mushrooms has evaporated. Deglaze the
skillet with the wine, scraping up any browned bits. Then add the water,
salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook, covered, for about 5 minutes. Stir the
beurre manié into the mixture and simmer, stirring, until the sauce
is thickened.
Drain the potatoes very well. (Peel them if you wish, but it is not necessary.) Add them to the vegetables in the skillet, along with the steak strips. Stir to combine well and cook just long enough to heat through. Serve with a simple salad (Gigi preferred hearts of Romaine with avocado, pink grapefruit seg- ments, and thinly sliced red onion, dressed with classic vinaigrette), and
crusty, hot garlic bread.  How many servings? Well, Gigi seldom bothered
to make note of that, but I am estimating 4, depending…)
