Steak Au Poivre 🥩 Start out by patting dry 4 Filet Mignons or 2 New York strips. Season them on all sides with salt and cracked peppercorns In a pan on medium high heat (with high heat oil) sear them to your preferred temperature then set them aside to rest. Turn the heat down to medium and in the same pan add: -3 minced shallots -3 cloves of minced garlic -1 tablespoon of fresh thyme -2 to 3 tablespoons of cracked peppercorns (I use a 50/50 combo of Pink and black peppercorns, but you can use all black if you prefer) -about 3 tablespoons of Cognac or Brandy -2 cups of beef stock -1 cup of heavy cream. Let this simmer until it reduces and the sauce thickens, then add: -4 tablespoons of butter -salt (or soy sauce) to taste I let my steaks warm in the oven for a few minutes before serving, then top it off with the Au Poivre fresh out of the pan.
