Steak Au Poivre Wallpapers

Steak au poivre or pepper steak is a French dish that consists of a steak, traditionally a filet mignon, coated with loosely cracked peppercorns and then cooked.

The peppercorns form a crust on the steak when cooked and provide a pungent but complementary counterpoint to the rich flavor of the high-quality beef.

The peppercorn crust itself is made by placing the steak in a bed of cracked black (or mixed) peppercorns.

Typically, the steak is seared in a hot skillet with a small amount of butter and oil to cook it.
