Steak Au Poivre - 2

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Green peppercorns
1 teaspoon	5ml	Black peppercorns
1 teaspoon	5ml	White peppercorns
1		Boneless strip beef steaks - (6 oz)
3 tablespoons	45ml	Unsalted butter
3		Hot-pepper sauce
3		Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons	30ml	Brandy
3 tablespoons	45ml	Whipping cream
		Salt to taste

Recipe Instructions

Coarsely crush all peppercorns in a pestle and mortar.

Sprinkle crushed pepper over both sides of steaks, pressing in well with palm of hand. Let stand 30 minutes.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet and heat until foaming. Add steaks and cook 2-3 minutes, then turn and cook other sides 2-3 minutes. (This timing gives medium-rare steaks, so adjust cooking time to suit personal preferences.)

Turn steaks again and top each one with remaining butter and sprinkle with a few drops hot-pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Pour brandy over steaks and allow to heat through a few seconds. Flame and remove from heat.

When flames subside, remove steaks to a warm serving plate and keep warm. Add whipping cream to skillet and stir well. Heat through 1 minute, scraping up sediment from bottom of skillet. Season with salt and spoon mixture over steaks. Serve at once.

Serve with fried potatoes and a green salad. Garnish with a fresh Italian parsley sprig, if desired.
