Ny Strip Au Poivre Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Season the NY strip steaks generously with salt and press the coarse black peppercorns into both sides of the steaks.

2. 2

   Sear the Steaks

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.

3. 3

   Make the Sauce

   In the same skillet, add the shallots and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Carefully add the brandy or cognac and let it reduce for about 1 minute.

4. 4

   Add Cream

   Pour in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and more pepper if desired.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the rested steaks and drizzle the peppercorn cream sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
