How to Prepare a Steak Au Poivre Recipe



cooking tips for beginner chefs



Steak au poivre (French dish) is made with coarsely chopped peppercorns and beef. The peppercorns add a pungent taste to the beef and form a crust on the steak. To make steak au poivre you need to sprinkle the meat in crushed peppercorns. They add a nice contrast to the beef flavor and enhance its flavor. You can customize this dish by adding your own flavors.

Before you prepare the sauce, season the steak first with pepper. If using a fresh peppercorn, you will want to grind it yourself. Ground pepper is also possible, but whole black peppercorn works best. After seasoning the steak, cook it until it reaches your desired temperature. When the steak is done, let it rest for several minutes. During this time, the pepper will continue its cooking. The sauce can be made by adding butter, cognac, butter, shallots and beef broth to the mixture.
