Ingredients Needed:

• 680g New York strip steaks,
• Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 garlic cloves (2 smashed, 2 thinly sliced)
• 3 sprigs thyme
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
• 1 large shallot, finely chopped
• 80ml cognac, dry sherry, or brandy
• 120ml heavy cream
• Flaky sea salt

How To Make Steak Au Poivre Recipe?

1. Season the Steaks: Pat steaks dry, season with salt and pepper, and let rest for 15–30 minutes.
2. Crush the Peppercorns: Crush peppercorns until coarse.
3. Cook the Steaks: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook steaks for 3 minutes per side until brown. If they have fat, cook the sides too.
4. Add Garlic, Thyme, and Butter: Lower heat. Add garlic, thyme, and 1 tbsp butter. Baste steaks and cook until they reach 120°F (49°C), about 2 minutes. Rest the steaks for 10 minutes.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same pan, cook shallot, garlic, and crushed peppercorns in butter for 5 minutes.
6. Add Cognac and Cream: Add cognac, cook until it mostly evaporates, then add cream. Simmer for 1 minute and season with salt.
7. Serve: Slice the steaks, pour any juices into the sauce, and drizzle over the steaks. Top with flaky sea salt.

Recipe Tips:

• Use a Cast Iron Skillet: It helps create a better crust and cooks the steak evenly.
• Rest the Steaks: Let the steaks rest after cooking to keep them juicy and tender.
• Crush Peppercorns Well: Crush the pepper coarsely for a stronger pepper flavor.
• Control the Heat: Cook on medium-high heat for a golden crust without burning.
• Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and thyme will make your sauce taste much better.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftovers cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Reheat the steak in a pan over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.
