Chef Garretts Steak Au Poivre Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Trim any excess fat or gristle from meat.
  • Leave out of fridge for 20 minutes or so to achieve room temp. Using the flat of a frying pan or a rolling pin, crush peppercorns. Press steaks into cracked peppercorns.
  • Melt butter and vegetable oil in a heavy saute pan.
  • When sizzling, add steaks and allow to brown, forming a peppercorn 'crust'.
  • Cook to preferred doneness (when checking with a meat probe, 105 degress is rare, 120 is medium rare, 140 medium.)
  • Remove meat from pan and place on a warm plate to rest.
  • CAREFULLY tip brandy into hot frying pan (it may ignite - watch out!) Pour in brown gravy.
  • Stir to gather up all the bits at bottom of pan - this is where the flavor comes from.
  • Add heavy cream, bring to boil.
  • When thick enough to coat a spoon, it's ready.
  • Return steaks and any accumulated juices to pan.
  • Check salt.
  • Allow steaks to absorb the sauce flavors for a minute or two.
  • Serve immediately
