@@stefanmariaschneider No, it will draw out moisture and the salt will disolve in the moisture, but the steak will reabsorbe the moisture. Thus season the stake insade as well as the outside. It will only dry the outside of the steak, which you want because it will give you a better sear.

This is the second time I made it. First time was amazing. This time we thought we were in heaven. My friend and I both never had such an amazing sauce, at home or in a restaurant. I am not sure what I did differently this time round, but I was generous with the cognac, butter, and cream. The layers of flavour were incredible. Thank you Stéphane!!!

@AGabaldoni 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Stephane, I loved the recipe. Steak au Poivre is my favorite dish by far! I have been eating Steak au Poivre for about 50 years. It was a family favorite when I was growing up. Both my parents who were great cooks, also loved to entertain their friends so good cooking was a must. Both of them took turns to make the family favorites, Steak au Poivre and Boeuf Bourguignon. As for the Steak au Poivre, each of them had a somewhat different version, Mom's was done in the traditional way much like Stephane's recipe (but using white onion as échalotes are not available in my country). My Dad added to it chopped Green Peppercorns and a little minced garlic (he always reminded us that this was not the traditional recipe) but his reason for adding the garlic was since échalotes were not available and white onion were the only option, he would first blanch the minced onions and garlic in boiling water for a minute or so thus making both of them milder and thus making the flavor closer to the échalotes. (Échalotes are softer than onion with a flavor that reminds a little of garlic so I think it was a pretty good way to balance the flavor and making it closer to the traditional flavor). I liked his version a little more but both were fantastic, they enjoyed the competition and we all had the luck of having great food. Last year my family spent a long vacation in France. As you can imagine, the two dishes I ate more were Steak au Poivre, and Boeuf Bourguignon. We went to may small bistrots and also many famous restaurants like Le Relais de l'Entrecote, Les Gourmets des Ternes, Chez Paul, Golden Pat, Bistrot Paul Bert, Brasserie Barbès, Auteuil Brasserie and others. Regarding the Steak au Poivre, on a few places they had the variation using the chopped green peppercorns (and no garlic of course). I did enjoy those even more than the traditional ones and I highly suggest you try this variation at least once. I frequently make this dish at home and almost always use both the cracked black pepper plus the chopped green peppercorns. My pan sauce is very similar to Stephane's but instead of échalotes of course I have no choice but to use the blanched white onion and garlic. and instead of Martell i use Curvoisier V.S. as Martell is not easily found here either. By the way, you can get on Amazon cans of Madagascar Green Peppercorns (these are the best). I have tried them all and the best by far come from France and are packed by a company called ETS MOULIN and they go for under $7 dollars for a 100 gram / 3.52 oz. can . Stephane, maybe you can add a link to these to your Amazon list... Thanks!

So I use them up when I get them. Delish! Again, thank you for the wonderful comment. Lol may you always have the top comment on this man’s lovely videos.

By the way, for work I went to Paris a number of times…and was working nonstop and did not take moments to really notice the brilliant places I ate. One night we went to a very high end restaurant in which the ceiling retracted and we saw the night’s sky. Very elegant. Could not remember the name of the place. I have traveled to many European and Asian cities…Paris is the most beautiful in my opinion. And the food is amazing. Now I’m retired and wish I paid more attention to my 10 visits there. : )

@theEarlofChip 10 ай бұрын

The green peppercorns are a must IMO, otherwise I personally wouldn't bother making the recipe! That's how good they are with this dish. Their bright flavor goes perfect with the rich, dusky sauce. They can be found in certain grocery stores, typically near the capers. I've seen them at Sprouts and even some Publix. The ones in brine in a resealable bottle stay good in the fridge for a very long time. That said, this video does several questionable things...ignoring how the steak is cooked, you definitely should wait to the very end to add the butter, when the sauce is cooling. Every other recipe I've seen deglazes with the cognac instead of using any white wine. Chef Jean-Pierre has my favorite version of this dish on KZfaq, but Marco Pierre White has a pretty good one too.

@wemblyfez 3 жыл бұрын

Ha! I absolutely fell over laughing with joy when you pulled out the bread to soak up the sauce. For me, the soul of French cooking is in the sauces and a good baugeutte is the ONLY way to enjoy the full experience. I learned how to do it here in France and will never look back. Pepper steak is one of my favorites so this video was especially delightful. Merci Stéphane!
