Default Grilled Steak au Poivre

This isn't usually grilled; Steak au poivre is generally pan seared steak seasoned heavily with cracked pepper and salt. When the steaks are cooked, the pan is deglazed with cognac, brandy, etc., and flamed. Then cream or butter is added. Once the sauce coats the back of a spoon, it's ready to go, and the steaks are put back in the sauce and served.

I grilled the steaks, though, and got some cheap cubed round steak to use for fond in the pan. It worked great, and I ended up with steak sandwiches for a couple of days, too.

I started with half a tenderloin:


I trimmed off the silverskin and fat.


Then I cut it into steaks.

I added the cubed steaks to season.


Then I fired up the grill and put the steaks on. The cubed steaks were done in a pan on the grill, too, just not on the grate.


When the cubed steaks were done, I added cognac and lit the cognac. don't do this without adult supervision!

The steak was sliced and put on a warmer for a party.

I'm just trying to figure out how to do some of those inside dishes outside instead. The cubed steak cost less than $1.50 for both slices. That would have been ok if they were just throw aways, but I'm able to have them as pretty good leftovers, too. I wouldn't feed them to guests, but I don't mind them for lunch.

Steak Diane usually has mushrooms and uses cognac or brandy and madiera wine. This will give a sweeter flavor. Steak au poivre means steak with pepper... lots of pepper, then a cognac cream sauce. very different flavor profiles.

Thanks, Arlin. :)

The old "sacrificial lesser cut". Good going.
Looks good.

Yeah, I know. I read that. I save the meat for myself when I do it too. Just always refered to it as a sacrifice because I first saw the technique--or at least a version of it--in Auguste Escoffier's work, and that it what he called it.

I figured if it is good enough for Auguste, it is good enough for me.
