The Steak au Poivre (Pepper Steak) is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

The first time I tried Steak au Poivre (Pepper Steak) a French-inspired dish, I knew it was one of the best things I’d ever eaten. If you love pepper, go all in with the peppercorns. Use thinner cuts if you like – just cook them for less time on the BBQ or stovetop.

I love nothing more than a well cooked steak and when you add that delicious creamy pepper sauce cooked with Brandy… well it is genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

This is for the steak lovers… Steak au Poivre (Pepper Steak) A French bistro classic – juicy steak coated in crushed peppercorns with a silky, creamy pepper sauce that I guarantee you will want to lick off the plate!
