Preparation
Roast the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into ½ inch wedges. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender.
Wilt the spinach & cook the beef
Meanwhile, in a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add ½ the spinach and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until wilted; season with S&P. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe out and reserve the pan. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef*; season with S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and reserve the pan.
Stuff & bake the mushrooms
Remove the stems from the mushrooms; roughly chop the stems. In a medium bowl, combine the beef, mushroom stems, panko, mascarpone, wilted spinach, remaining spices and S&P. Arrange the mushroom caps, hollow-sides up, on a second lined sheet pan; season with salt. Stuff with the mascarpone mixture and bake, 14 to 16 min., until golden brown and tender.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, thinly slice the radishes. In a second medium bowl, combine the radishes, remaining spinach, ½ the vinegar, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Make the sauce
Wrap the peppercorns in a dish towel; using a heavy pan (or a mortar and pestle), press down on the dish towel, rocking the pan from side to side, until the peppercorns are roughly crushed. Heat the reserved pan on medium. Add the peppercorns and toast, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until fragrant. Add the demi-glace, 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and the remaining vinegar (start with ½); bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced. Add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and salt; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the potatoes and mushrooms between your plates. Top the mushrooms with a spoonful of the sauce. Serve the salad and remaining sauce on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
