Burgundy Sauce:

In a saucepan, simmer the burgundy wine, black peppercorns, shallots and garlic over medium heat until the reduction is almost dry. Add tomato puree and beef stock, bringing to a boil.

In a separate saucepan, make roux by melting the butter, then slowly adding the flour until the mixture is almost golden brown. Do not burn. Slowly stir the burgundy sauce into the roux. Strain the hot mixture into a bowl.

Onaga:

Brush the fish with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-hot fire for 4 minutes on each side until opaque throughout.

Remove all excess fat from the steak. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground pepper. Grill over medium-hot fire to desired doneness.

On a hot plate, spoon the Garlic Mashed Sweet Potatoes onto the center of the plate. Pool burgundy sauce and ginger sauce on the plate on opposite sides. Place the New York Steak and Onaga partially upon the sweet potatoes and on their respective sauces. Dribble additional burgundy sauce on the steak and ginger sauce on the Onaga.
