I have been wanting to make this French bistro recipe for a long time and I finally did. http://www.recipe.com/steak-au-poivre/ It was so simple and only took about 15 minutes to make. The petit filet mignons are coated with cracked peppercorns which are literally cracked using a cutting board and skillet. The filets are seared in butter, then removed from the pan. The peppercorn sauce is made by sauteeing shallots in the pan with the drippings, then adding a mixture of beef stock, Cognac (I used Hennessey), heavy cream and a little Dijon mustard. Reduce down by bringing to a boil then simmering for 5-6 minutes. I also made frites (fries) and a green salad drizzled with vinaigrette and crumbled blue cheese for a true French experience. In just a few weeks I’ll be enjoying Steak au Poivre in Paris!
Looks good! I used to make a similar steak called Steak Diane! Looking forward to your posts
