Steak Au Poivre Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Directions:
  • About 30 minutes before cooking, remove the filets from the refrigerator and pat them dry with a cloth.
  • Coarsely grind the pepper corns in a kitchen mortar with a pestle or in a peppermill and spread them on a plate. Coat the filets on both sides with the pepper.
  • Melt butter (and/or olive oil) in a heavy cast iron skillet with a long handle. When very hot, add the filets and sear the meat for approximately 3-4 minutes on both sides. Remove skillet from the heat, transfer the filets to a platter or plate, then pour out excess fat.
  • Do not wash or remove ingredients in skillet, you will be deglazing the pan.
  • Return filets to pan and add cognac over filets. Using a long kitchen match, ignite the cognac. Be careful not to burn yourself as the cognac will flare up when ignited. Use the proper precautions: be sure to pull your hair back, roll up your sleeves and stand back.
  • Add cream to the skillet and bring to a slow simmer. Use a wooden spoon to lightly scrape the ingredients from the bottom of the pan. Allow the cream to thicken. Season to taste and then serve.
