Steak au Poivre "Pepper Steak"

[Jarza75]

I like to add some Dijon mustard to that sauce.

[quinnman0627]

[riceball23]

lol fillet mignon? Those don't look like it, chef!

[DaniOcean]

@riceball23 looks like sirloin to me.

[enano782]

is that mint? on that garnish

[mariandreabv]

my dad uses red wine istead of brandy and it turns out great, too! just a suggestion ;)

[HeavensOmega]

Do you have to use Brandy? Does it work with wine or any other more common liquors? Thanks a lot for the recipe, easy and delicious-looking

[thatbastardson]

i eat peppercorns. i just pop them in my mouth. i love them. i bought 2 pounds of organic peppercorns from starwest botanicals, and i can't get enough. try coating chicken the same way as these steaks, and grilling, and basting with butter during cooking. awesome.

[agh668]

[geneisms]

[dojufitz]

I usually add green peppercorns after brandy -

I just had a pepper steak tonight....

oh yeah!

[bludika]

way too much cream, half of what u put i think is enough.

[fluffyputih]

Thank you so much for your recipe, I love your cooking.

[northportdave]

can the sauce be made ahead and placed in the fridge to be used on other food items.

[bludika]

i say, maybe too much cream, instead add less cream and finish the sauce with bits of butter.

[DAportfolio]

I had a little trouble getting the sauce right but its turned out GREAT anyway. Simply delicious.

[Russiaaan]

[ciarrella]

[calfrun27]

[Brandonjaf]

What happens if the sauce catches fire?

[mskerripa]

LOOKS great !~!!

[dwadekid3]

i make it the same way...nice job

[janelso33]

are you a chef?

[taj74va]

Most of the "steak a poivre" I have seen has been done with whole, green madagascar peppercorns, including butter, demi and congac, with a splash of cream. Is that too foodie? Still looks tasty though!

[Twinman2]

Mmmh, bliss! Can't wait to try this! :)

[briancolhoun]

Pauvre, poivre, dunn matter, I made this last night for 6 friends, delicious. Thank You !

[hyperx1]

poivre = (culinary; pepper)

pauvre = poor

just in case some people were getting confused.

[theeSHXT]

poivre doesn't mean poor.

it means pepper.

[noosaslayer]

Nicly done, looks good.

[takadi]

How would you do this in a cast iron pan?

[foodwishes]

should work the same way.

[takadi]

Would the pan sauce taste any different, since copper and iron heat up differently?

[foodwishes]

no, because you control the heat and the liquid. Just dont let it

burn

[takadi]

Sweet, I was actually saving up for this super expensive copper pan because I have a cousin who says that pan sauces can ONLY be cooked in french copper pans (she's a bit of a snob, lol). Looks like I can just use my dirty old 10 dollar cast iron pan. Thanks!

[janelso33]

yeah, cast iron pans work great.

[trumpetdude6]

k, "poivre" is from french and spanish root meaning poor! real steak a poivre is just pepper and salt, poivire=poor!

[foodwishes]

Yes! and that's what was on the steak - salt and pepper. This is a classic "Steak au Poivre" in the culinary world at least, which usually comes with a brandy pan sauce.

[6151RichmondStreet]

Is there something you would recommend as an alternative to the Brandy? Thank you.

[janelso33]

cognac

[angusMCjamison]

i asked mom and my sister once what i could substitute alcohol with, and they said viniger. i guess it isn't the same but it's more... non-alcoholic that way :)

[Devast8ion]

Dude... obviously you flunked remedial chemistry. Boiling alcohol makes it non-alcoholic. Otherwise you'd get cirrhosis from coq au vin.

[angusMCjamison]

i didn't flunk it. i gave up before i would actually flunk ;)

[catalyst8]

"an alternative to the Brandy?"

A good Amontillado sherry is an excellent alternative, and frequently used instead of brandy in many restaurants. If you have a concern about cooking with alcohol itself, just remember that when you reduce the sauce the alcohol will be evaporated off in the process due to it's low boiling point.

[6151RichmondStreet]

pauvre is poor, poivre is just pepper:)

[NewSprayer]

@trumpetdude6 pauvre means poor, poivre just means pepper

[nochemistry]

That looks awesome. Will definitely try. Very nice commentary. Thanks!

[naomi94]
