Instructions

1. 1

   Season the Leek generously and let it come to room temperature while the pan heats.

2. 2

   Sear in butter and oil over medium-high heat until a deep mahogany crust forms on every face.

3. 3

   Lower the heat, add Garlic and Black Peppercorns, and cook until translucent and sweet, stirring in the pan juices.

4. 4

   Add the herbs and wine, simmer to deglaze, and reduce until sharply aromatic.

5. 5

   Return the Leek to the pan, cover, and cook on the lowest heat until it yields to a knife with no resistance.

6. 6

   Rest the meat, reduce the sauce to a glaze, mount with butter, and serve with the sauce poured around, not over.
