STRIP STEAK WITH PEPPER CREAM SAUCE

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (6 to 8-ounce) strip steaks, 3/4 to 1-inch thick
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
2 tablespoons clarified, unsalted butter
3/4 cup beef stock or broth
3 tablespoons cognac
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon green peppercorns in brine, drained and slightly crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle steaks with kosher salt and crushed black pepper. Heat butter in a 12-inch, heavy bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Once butter is hot, add steaks and cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare and 3 minutes per side for medium. Remove steaks from pan and place on a rack set on a sheet pan; place in oven to keep warm.
  • Add the stock to the saute pan and whisk until the crispy bits release from bottom of pan. Allow the liquid to reduce for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add cognac, heavy cream, and green peppercorns to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook, whisking continually, until sauce thickens slightly, just enough to coat the back of a spoon; this will take 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season the sauce, to taste, with kosher salt. Place steaks on plates, top with sauce, and serve immediately.

THE BEST PEPPER STEAK



The Best Pepper Steak image

Pepper steak is a Chinese-American stir-fry dish that coats tender sliced steak and crisp-tender bell peppers in a deeply savory and slightly sweet sauce. We used flank steak here, but it is equally delicious with skirt or flap steak. No matter the cut, make sure to slice it thinly across the grain to ensure the meat is tender in the final dish. We tested bell peppers cut into a variety of sizes and found that one-inch pieces worked best, yielding peppers cooked to the perfect doneness (not too snappy but not at all mushy).

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds flank steak
4 cloves garlic
One 1 1/2-inch piece ginger
7 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup beef broth
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 medium white onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red bell pepper (about 8 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large green bell pepper (about 8 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Sliced scallions, for topping
Toasted sesame seeds, for topping
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Freeze the flank steak until the meat is slightly frozen and firm enough to thinly slice with ease, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Finely grate 2 cloves of the garlic into a large bowl. Peel the ginger and cut it in half. Finely grate one of the ginger halves into the same bowl; reserve the remaining ginger. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of the Shaoxing wine, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sugar and several large grinds of pepper to combine. Set aside.
  • Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain on a very slight bias into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Cut any extra-long pieces in half; the strips should be no longer than 3 to 4 inches. Add to the bowl with the marinade and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • About 30 minutes before finishing the dish, use tongs to transfer the steak to a large baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels and arrange in a single layer. Lay additional paper towels on top to help absorb any excess marinade. Set aside to take the chill off the meat.
  • Whisk together the beef broth, sesame oil, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and a couple large grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Finely mince the remaining 2 cloves garlic and add to a small bowl. Finely mince the remaining ginger and add to the same bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add a third of the steak strips in a single layer and cook until well-browned on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until browned on the second side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a large plate. Cook the remaining steak in 2 additional batches, adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of canola oil per batch. Transfer to the plate.
  • Lower the heat to medium high. Add the onion and a splash of water to the empty skillet and cook, scraping up any browned bits and stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the red and green bell peppers and cook, stirring frequently and adding another splash of water if the skillet starts to get too brown on the bottom, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 1 minute.
  • Return the steak to the skillet and stir to combine. Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce, then pour it into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and glossy, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pepper steak to a large serving platter and top with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice.

PEPPER STRIP STEAK

This recipe uses simple/inexpensive ingredients that you are sure to have around the house. I grew up eating this and consider it true comfort food! I found the recipe in an old cookbook of my mothers called "Second Helping, Please", though I've adapted it slightly to suit my preferences. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do and don't let the ketchup scare you!!! This is really quite tasty.

1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons soya sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large onion, cut into rings
4 ounces canned mushrooms (I use fresh when possible)
1 green pepper, cut into strips

Tips:

  • Choose a High-Quality Steak: Opt for a well-marbled KC strip steak at least 1 inch thick for optimal flavor and tenderness.
  • Bring Steak to Room Temperature: Allow the steak to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
  • Season Generously: Season the steak liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also use a steak seasoning blend of your choice.
  • Sear Steak Over High Heat: Sear the steak in a hot skillet or grill for 2-3 minutes per side. This creates a nice crust and locks in the juices.
  • Reduce Heat and Continue Cooking: After searing, reduce the heat and continue cooking the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer for a more done steak.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
  • Rest Steak Before Slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can achieve a perfectly cooked peppercorn KC strip steak that is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you prefer a classic peppercorn sauce or a creamy mushroom sauce, this steak is sure to impress. Serve it with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
