A legendary meat platter if you’re aching for some cold resistance. Zelda, Link and Spicy Pepper Steak are properties of Nintendo. Here's how to make it!
What You Need: Pepper Marinade: 1/3 cup soy sauce 1 TBL tomato sauce 2 tbl chipotle peppers in adobo 2 tsp ground Szechuan or black peppercorns 1 lime, juiced 1 TBL brown sugar 1 shallot 1 cup Dr. Pepper
The Rest: 1 8-10 oz. chuck steak 1 duck breast 1 TBL bacon fat 4 oz. mushrooms, sliced
Score one side of your steak with hashmarks. Score the fat of your duck breast as well. Place each cut of meat in its own small zip top bag. In a blender, crush all marinade ingredients. Divide marinade between both bags of meat. Get out as much air as possible and marinate in the fridge for 2-4 hours.
Remove meat from bags and allow to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Preheat your oven (or toaster oven) to 400 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with foil. In a cold cast iron pan, place your duck breast fat side down. Render fat on low heat for 5-10 minutes or until golden. Cook a few minutes more on the other side. Place duck on baking sheet.
Cook steak in rendered duck fat on medium high, 4-6 minutes each side. Place on the baking sheet with duck. Place in the oven while you finish the recipe. Add bacon fat or butter to the pan and fry your mushrooms until golden, 5-8 minutes. Remove from pan.
Add reserved marinade to pan and fry 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add Dr. Pepper and reduce until a thick syrup forms. Remove from pan and set aside. Remove meat from the oven and allow to rest, adding any juices in the pan to the sauce.
To assemble platter: place both cuts of meat on a large plate with a small pool of sauce under steak, reserved mushrooms, sliced peppers and a little green salad. Serve warm.

Let's make some spicy pepper steak!
First, get all this yummy stuff together to make a marinade.
Now you can make it in a bar blender
but I'm gonna use my stick blender cuz there's not much here.
Get it nice and smooth.
Alright now we're using two meats here, chuck roast and duck.
Score the top with your sword like this.
Repeat with your duck breast on the side with the fat.
Now place both pieces of meat in zip top bags
and divide the marinade between the two.
Seal them up and allow them to marinate 2-4 hours.
When marinating time is up,
remove the steaks to a small plate to come to room temperature,
10 to 20 minutes, and save all
your marinade. We're going to be using it.
In a cold cast iron pan,
render your duck breast fat side down on low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
Flip it, and cook it another few minutes,
and then you can set it aside.
Now cook your steak in the rendered duck fat,
4 to 5 minutes, both sides to get a nice good sear.
Then you're going to want to place
your meats on a foil lined baking sheet,
and roast them while we make the rest
of the platter. Add some more fat to the pan.
I like bacon fat, but you can use butter.
Fry your mushrooms until they're nice and golden.
Then place them in a bowl while we make the sauce.
Add your reserved marinade,
and fry it until it's reduced.
Then you can add some Dr Pepper, or cola if you want.
Reduce it until it's nice and syrupy, then set it aside.
Alright, now arrange your mushrooms,
some sliced red bell pepper, your sauce, your meat,
and what the heck, a little salad to make
the platter really pop. Doesn't it look gorgeous?
Let's have a bite. Legendary.
