Don't tell anyone! Steak au poivre, the world's simplest pepper steak!

The best and simplest pepper steak or steak au poivre recipe you will find. Sometimes, less is more and this recipe is one of those. No chopping, no stocks, no rare ingredients or herbs required. All cooked on stove top.

This restaurant recipe has been proven thousands of times. It was one of the most popular menu choices in my old restaurant. Im almost ashamed to reveal how simple it is, but only for you, I will!

You can use any cut beef you like, but tenderloin or eye fillet is usually the better option. After all, it is a special dish so why not go all the way.

Try and crack the pepper corns yourself so you can the full aroma. Use a mortar and pestle or the underside of a saucepan. Dijon mustard is the only mustard you should use, so please, no substitutes! Buy a good brandy that you would enjoy to drink, or that you can afford. If you dont normally drink it, get a small pocket size bottle. Remember theres not many ingredients in this recipe, so buy the best you can within your budget. For the cream, use a heavy or thickened cream. The green pepper corns are optional, but I think well worth it. When you cook the steaks, use low heat so the pepper doesnt burn. You want a nice crust, not a burnt one. If cooking well done or similar, probably best to use a lid to help it. You could also place the pan in a hot oven, but only if its already hot. Once cooked, leave to rest on heated plates in a warm spot. It should be just long enough to rest a few minutes. Any juices from the steaks, pour back into the pan sauce. Be very careful if youre flambing, do not try it unless youre used to it and feel confident in a safe kitchen. Simply turn off the fire then pour in your brandy. Turn back on low after its cooled down a minute. Any ignition will be minor. Once the sauce has reduced and is ready, pour directly over your steaks and serve immediately. Dont wait too long or it wont look as good. So there you have it, a restaurant style pepper steak thats so basic! Enjoy it with green beans and roasted or pan fried potatoes.
