Steps:
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onions have softened, and achieved a deep brown color, 15 to 25 minutes. Stir in vinegar and thyme, and cook for 5 minutes more.
- While the onions are cooking, place cubed potatoes in large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, and allow to steam for a minute.
- To finish the dish, transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl, and use a potato masher to mix with Dijon mustard, horseradish, salt and cracked black pepper until smooth. Mix in softened butter, caramelized onions, and half-and-half until onions are distributed evenly.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the milk, horseradish and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the horseradish is tender and infuses the milk, about 10 minutes (it's OK if the mixture looks curdled). Cover to keep warm.
- Drain the potatoes well, then return to the pot over low heat. Cook until the excess liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and butter and smash with a potato masher until the butter is melted and the potatoes are mostly smooth but with some chunks. Mash in the milk mixture and parsley until creamy; season with salt and pepper. If the potatoes still seem thick, add more warm milk as needed. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.

Steps:
- Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat.
- Salt each rib eye on 1 side. Place salt-side down in the pan and sear until brown, about 4 minutes (you may have to do in batches or use multiple pans). Salt the top side of the rib eyes and turn over. Cook until brown on the flip side, about 3 more minutes. Add the butter to the pan and allow to foam. Add garlic and thyme and baste steaks with butter. Cook, flipping every 2 to 3 minutes and continuing to baste, until desired internal temperature is reached, about 10 minutes for medium-rare. Serve with Crispy Smashed Potatoes and Horseradish.
- Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Cover the fingerling potatoes with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Strain. Using the back of a spatula or wooden spoon, slightly smash each potato until skin splits and potatoes are about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick but still intact.
- Deep-fry potatoes until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a sheet pan fitted with a rack to drain slightly.
- Add sour cream, horseradish and mayonnaise to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Transfer potatoes to a serving dish. Drizzle with horseradish cream mixture.

Steps:
- Mix bay, cider, sugar, grill seasoning and vegetable oil in the bottom of a large food storage bag, squish it all together until evenly combined. Drop the meat into the bag and move it around to evenly coat it. Let stand 10 to 12 minutes. Preheat a grill pan or indoor/outdoor grill to high.
- Thinly slice 1 1/2 onions and reserve 1/2 onion whole but peeled. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and melt it. Add the sliced onions to the pan. Peel, core and slice the apple and add it to the onions. Season the apples and onions with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook the apples and onions 5 or 6 minutes, then add cooked red cabbage and combine then reduce heat to low. Set aside and keep warm.
- Place meat on grill and let a bay leaf remain stuck on each steak. As the meat cooks, the heat will infuse the flavor throughout the meat. Cook steaks about 6 minutes on each side. Then, let meat rest. Discard leaves.
- While meat cooks, place potatoes in a pot and cover with water, bring water to a boil then salt it. Cook potatoes 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes and return to the hot pot. Mash them with sour cream, horseradish and chives and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Potatoes will be thick and spicy. If you like looser mashed potatoes, add a little milk or stock, continue to smash.
- While potatoes cook, remove the red cabbage to a serving bowl and cover with foil. In the same skillet that the cabbage was cooked in, add 2 tablespoons butter. Melt butter then grate the reserved 1/2 onion with a hand held grater into the butter. Cook the grated onions 2 minutes then add flour and cook a minute more. Whisk in red wine and cook off a minute then whisk in stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in mustard and gingersnaps and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Let sauce thicken a couple of minutes.
- Thinly slice the flank steak on an angle against the grain. Place a mound of potatoes on each dinner plate. Lay out some sliced flank steak along the edge of potatoes and dress with a ladle of sauer-sauce. Serve red cabbage, apples and onions alongside or in small side dishes.
Tips
- For a smoother texture, peel the potatoes before boiling.
- Use a potato ricer or food mill to achieve the smoothest, creamiest mashed potatoes.
- Add the horseradish, butter, and cream slowly, allowing each ingredient to fully incorporate before adding the next.
- If the potatoes are too thick, add a little milk or cream to thin them out.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the smashed potatoes immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.
