Recipes

Classic Steak Au Poivre

Ingredients:

• 2 ribeye or strip steaks (8 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons Badia Whole Black Pepper, coarsely cracked
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons cognac or brandy (optional)
• ¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

1. Press the cracked pepper and salt firmly onto both sides of the steaks.
2. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Sear the steaks 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare; transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
4. Reduce heat to medium; add butter to the same pan. If using cognac, carefully pour it in and let it flame for a few seconds, then stir.
5. Add the heavy cream and stir, scraping up any browned bits, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
6. Drizzle the pan sauce over the steaks and serve immediately.
