Mean Chef's Steak Au Poivre image

I adopted this recipe after its original poster, Mean Chef, departed the site. I have made this recipe a few times, without the sauce to cut calories, and I never would've thought steak made in the oven would be so delicious!!! Mean posted the recipe on Apr 3, 2003. (IHHDRO)

Categories     Steak

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (6 -8 ounce) New York strip steaks or 4 sirloin steaks, 3/4 inch thick, patted dry
salt
3 tablespoons coarsely ground black peppercorns or 1 mixture of various peppercorn
olive oil, for the pan
1 cup red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir)
4 -6 tablespoons butter, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 500°F.
  • Sprinkle the steaks with salt on both sides, and then press the ground peppercorns into the steaks on both sides.
  • Set a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough olive oil to make a light film.
  • When the oil is very hot, add the steaks, cooking until nicely browned on one side, about 3 minute.
  • (If the pan is small, work in batches.) Flip the meat over and put the skillet in the oven.
  • For medium-rare steaks, roast for 3 minutes for 6-ounce steaks; 4 minutes for 8-ounce steaks.
  • Check for doneness with the tip of a knife or by pressing with your fingertips, keeping in mind that the steaks will cook a bit more as they sit.
  • Transfer the steaks to a warm plate and tent with foil.
  • With a spoon, remove any fat from the skillet.
  • Put the skillet back on the burner and heat to medium high.
  • Add the wine and cook until it's reduced to 1/4 cup, about 7 minutes, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. REMOVE PAN FROM THE HEAT.
  • Whisk in the butter a slice at a time, whisking until completely melted.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings, drizzle the sauce over the steaks, and serve immediately with more sauce on the side.
  • Variations: add shallots to the pan sauce, finish with chopped parsley.
  • substitute 4 tbl cognac and 1/2 cup dark stock in place of the wine.
  • substitute 1/4 cup cream and 1/4 cup cognac for the wine- reduce slightly to thicken.

I served this dish with roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect combination. The vegetables added a nice sweetness to the dish, and they helped to balance out the richness of the steak and sauce.

I was a bit skeptical about cooking steak in butter, but it turned out really well. The butter added a nice richness to the steak, and it didn't overpower the flavor of the meat.

This recipe is a bit more time-consuming than some other steak au poivre recipes, but it's worth the effort. The extra steps really elevate the flavor of the dish. I especially liked the addition of the cognac to the sauce.
