Best 3 Steak Au Poivre Steak With Peppercorn Sauce Recipes

STEAK AU POIVRE (FILET IN GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the filets generously with salt.
• Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke slightly. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Sear the filets on both sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Cook in the oven until desired doneness, about 7 minutes for medium rare.
• Meanwhile, return the skillet to medium heat. Add the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, green peppercorns and bouillon cube. Bring to a simmer and let reduce by about half, about 2 minutes. Add the cognac and porcini powder and let reduce again for 1 minute.
• Remove the beef from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the filets across the grain into 2-inch pieces and top with the au poivre sauce, thyme sprigs and a pinch of coarse salt.

STEAK AU POIVRE WITH A MUSHROOM, GREEN PEPPERCORN, AND DIJON SAUCE AND POMMES FRITES WITH A GARLIC AIOLI DIPPING SAUCE AND A FRESH VEGETABLE RELISH

Steps:

• Use a meat mallet to slightly reduce the thickness of each steak. Spread both sides of each steak with a thin coating of Dijon mustard. Sprinkle with salt and cover both sides with coarsely ground black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steaks 3 to 4 minutes on each side. The steaks should be rare at this point. Set them aside and lightly cover them so they stay warm. Do not wash out the pan.
• Mushroom, Green Peppercorn and Dijon sauce: Heat the butter in a medium sized saute pan over medium-high heat and saute the garlic and shallots for approximately 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, raise the heat to high, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add beef stock, cream, and mustard, and then reduce the sauce by 1/2. Once the sauce is made, reheat the skillet, in which the steaks were cooked, to medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for another 2 minutes on each side for a medium-rare steak. Transfer them to dinner plates, which have been coated with the mushroom Dijon sauce. Once you plate the steaks, spoon more of the sauce on top of each steak. Serve with Pommes Frites, Aioli, and Vegetable Relish.
• Thoroughly clean the outer surface of the russets and peel the skin using a vegetable peeler. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into thick strips. Pour enough vegetable oil in a pot to cover the potato slices. Once the oil is hot, carefully put the potato strips into the pot and fry them until they are brown and crispy. Remove the potatoes from the pot and drain the excess oil onto paper towels. Salt and pepper, to taste, while the potatoes are still hot. Serve with a fresh Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce.
• Finely mince 1 or 2 cloves of garlic in a food processor. Add in the egg yolks and then squeeze the juice from a couple of lemons into the processor bowl. Blend the ingredients together until they fully integrate. While the mixture processes, slowly drizzle in olive oil until the sauce emulsifies.
• Dice all of the ingredients and combine them in a medium sized bowl. Stir the diced vegetables together, until they are fully integrated.

STEAK AU POIVRE - STEAK WITH PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the Basic Brown Sauce recipe (half) and keep it warm.
• Let the steaks rest on the counter for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450ºF/230ºC.
• Gently pat the steaks dry and season generously with ground sea salt. Spread crushed peppercorns on all sides including the edges pressing down to adhere; set aside.
• Heat up a cast iron pan on medium- high. When hot, add oil. Place meat and cook, undisturbed, for 2 to 2 ½ minutes (Maillard reaction).
• Flip and cook the other side for 2 ½ minutes (medium-rare).
• Add butter and garlic cloves. Tilt the pan to baste the meat, spooning on the butter a few times.
• Transfer to the preheated oven and cook until desired doneness (refer to Filet Mignon • How to Cook Perfectly).
• Remove the cast iron pan from the heat, pour in Cognac and ignite it.
• When the flames go out, transfer the steaks onto a plate, cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 10 minutes.
• In the same cast iron pan over medium-high heat with the two garlic cloves left in, add mushrooms and sauté until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Season them with salt and pepper, stir well before transferring to a bowl and set aside. Discard the two garlic cloves.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low to allow the cast iron pan to cool off a bit.
• Add warm basic brown sauce and heavy cream. Stir and simmer for 2 minutes; taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
• Before serving, add any accumulated juices to the sauce, stir well and spoon the sauce over the steaks and top with the sautéed mushrooms up. Serve with mashed potatoes and broccolini.
