GRILLED PEPPER CRUSTED T-BONE STEAKS WITH WORCESTERSHIRE-CHIVE BUTTER
Steps:
- Preheat grill or side burner. Heat oil in a medium skillet add shallots and garlic and cook until soft, let cool slightly. Place butter in a small bowl and add shallot mixture, Worcestershire, mustard and chives and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Scrape mixture into the center of a piece of waxed paper and roll into a log. Refrigerate until firm.
- Preheat grill. Mix the peppercorns and ancho chile powder in a medium baking dish. Brush steaks with olive oil and season with salt. Dredge one side of the steaks in the pepper mixture and grill, pepper side down, until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes, turn over and continue grilling 6 to 7 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Remove from the grill and top with a slice of the butter.
PORTOBELLO 'STEAK' AU POIVRE
Steak au poivre, a classic French dish of peppercorn-crusted steak with cream sauce, seems like it was meant to be made with mushrooms. Not only do mushrooms sear well, but they're also a friend to the dish's main flavorings of heavy cream, heady spices and warming liquor. For the best results, crisp the mushrooms first in a hot pan, baste them with garlic butter until tender, then let them simmer in the cream sauce so they soak up that richness. Eat with roasted, mashed or fried potatoes, a salad of watercress or another spicy green, and red wine, of course.

Steps:
- Brush the mushrooms all over with olive oil. Sprinkle the pepper evenly over the gill sides (about 1/2 teaspoon per mushroom). Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high, then add the mushrooms gill side up and sear until the underside is browned and the gill side looks wet, 3 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and the pepper is fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Flip the mushrooms so they're gill side up, then add the butter and garlic, and season with salt. While stirring the garlic to keep it from scorching, tilt the skillet to spoon up the melting butter and baste the mushrooms until tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate, leaving the butter in the skillet.
- Add the shallot and stir until softened, 2 to 4 minutes, adding a little more butter if the pan is dry. Stand back, and carefully add the Cognac. (It might flame.) Stir until the Cognac has nearly evaporated. Add the heavy cream and mustard, season with salt, and stir to combine. Return the mushrooms to the pan gill side down, and cook until the cream is thickened and the color of a latte, 2 to 4 minutes. Eat the mushrooms with a drizzle of the sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right steak: For this recipe, a ribeye or strip steak is recommended, as they have good marbling and flavor.
- Season the steaks generously: The pepper crust is a key component of this dish, so don't be afraid to season the steaks liberally.
- Sear the steaks over high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Let the steaks rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steaks, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Make sure the portobellos are well-glazed: The Worcestershire glaze adds a delicious flavor to the portobellos, so make sure they are coated evenly.
- Serve the steaks with your favorite sides: These steaks can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Pepper crusted steaks with Worcestershire glazed portobellos is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The steaks are juicy and flavorful, the portobellos are rich and savory, and the Worcestershire glaze adds a touch of sweetness and acidity. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
