@@js0988 I’m no anti-salter, but I actually appreciated the fact that he didn’t add a bunch of salt, but layers of flavor instead. And I’ll bet there’s some salt in that stock or butter. I really struggle with eating out here in the US because everything is over salted. We need to get used to just a little bit less. Our cardiovascular system will thank us!
@@stefanmariaschneider No, it will draw out moisture and the salt will disolve in the moisture, but the steak will reabsorbe the moisture. Thus season the stake insade as well as the outside. It will only dry the outside of the steak, which you want because it will give you a better sear.
I bartended in a French Restaurant for 20yrs and this was one of my favorites. And Sweetbreads. Oh my! The Chef/owner retired, and closed the restaurant. I missed a great opportunity to be taught his fabulous sauces. So glad I've found you!
I made this last week and can honestly say it might be the best thing I have ever cooked. I haven't stopped talking about it. I can't stress enough how absolutely delicious this is and how this is now my go-to recipe when attempting to show off my culinary skills. Just perfection
This is the second time I made it. First time was amazing. This time we thought we were in heaven. My friend and I both never had such an amazing sauce, at home or in a restaurant. I am not sure what I did differently this time round, but I was generous with the cognac, butter, and cream. The layers of flavour were incredible. Thank you Stéphane!!!
Thanks Stephane, I loved the recipe. Steak au Poivre is my favorite dish by far! I have been eating Steak au Poivre for about 50 years. It was a family favorite when I was growing up. Both my parents who were great cooks, also loved to entertain their friends so good cooking was a must. Both of them took turns to make the family favorites, Steak au Poivre and Boeuf Bourguignon. As for the Steak au Poivre, each of them had a somewhat different version, Mom's was done in the traditional way much like Stephane's recipe (but using white onion as échalotes are not available in my country). My Dad added to it chopped Green Peppercorns and a little minced garlic (he always reminded us that this was not the traditional recipe) but his reason for adding the garlic was since échalotes were not available and white onion were the only option, he would first blanch the minced onions and garlic in boiling water for a minute or so thus making both of them milder and thus making the flavor closer to the échalotes. (Échalotes are softer than onion with a flavor that reminds a little of garlic so I think it was a pretty good way to balance the flavor and making it closer to the traditional flavor). I liked his version a little more but both were fantastic, they enjoyed the competition and we all had the luck of having great food. Last year my family spent a long vacation in France. As you can imagine, the two dishes I ate more were Steak au Poivre, and Boeuf Bourguignon. We went to may small bistrots and also many famous restaurants like Le Relais de l'Entrecote, Les Gourmets des Ternes, Chez Paul, Golden Pat, Bistrot Paul Bert, Brasserie Barbès, Auteuil Brasserie and others. Regarding the Steak au Poivre, on a few places they had the variation using the chopped green peppercorns (and no garlic of course). I did enjoy those even more than the traditional ones and I highly suggest you try this variation at least once. I frequently make this dish at home and almost always use both the cracked black pepper plus the chopped green peppercorns. My pan sauce is very similar to Stephane's but instead of échalotes of course I have no choice but to use the blanched white onion and garlic. and instead of Martell i use Curvoisier V.S. as Martell is not easily found here either. By the way, you can get on Amazon cans of Madagascar Green Peppercorns (these are the best). I have tried them all and the best by far come from France and are packed by a company called ETS MOULIN and they go for under $7 dollars for a 100 gram / 3.52 oz. can . Stephane, maybe you can add a link to these to your Amazon list... Thanks!
A G wonderful. I am going to screenshot this and send it to myself if you don’t mind. Lovely story and history and about make do when you can’t do. Best wishes 😘
Superb comment. Absolutely loved this. And steak Au Poivre is my absolute favorite way to have a steak. I have ordered green peppercorns in past…they do not last super long in fridge. So I use them up when I get them. Delish! Again, thank you for the wonderful comment. Lol may you always have the top comment on this man’s lovely videos.
By the way, for work I went to Paris a number of times…and was working nonstop and did not take moments to really notice the brilliant places I ate. One night we went to a very high end restaurant in which the ceiling retracted and we saw the night’s sky. Very elegant. Could not remember the name of the place. I have traveled to many European and Asian cities…Paris is the most beautiful in my opinion. And the food is amazing. Now I’m retired and wish I paid more attention to my 10 visits there. : )
The green peppercorns are a must IMO, otherwise I personally wouldn't bother making the recipe! That's how good they are with this dish. Their bright flavor goes perfect with the rich, dusky sauce. They can be found in certain grocery stores, typically near the capers. I've seen them at Sprouts and even some Publix. The ones in brine in a resealable bottle stay good in the fridge for a very long time. That said, this video does several questionable things...ignoring how the steak is cooked, you definitely should wait to the very end to add the butter, when the sauce is cooling. Every other recipe I've seen deglazes with the cognac instead of using any white wine. Chef Jean-Pierre has my favorite version of this dish on TH-cam, but Marco Pierre White has a pretty good one too.
I have now made this 3 times, first time with a $40.00 custom cut ribeye 2 inch thick from a fancy butcher, second time with a decent $27.00 ribeye, and today with a 1 inch strip steak That was only $14.00. each time it has gotten better which is proof of not a good piece of meat, but a good recipe. Thanks for posting this, our new favorite steak recipe. BTW this time I substituted creme fraiche for the cream...give it a go!
Very fancy version of Steak Diane and used to be a staple at restaurants in America until the 80's complete with the waiter making it tableside. Sauce looks amazing!
This channel is great. There's a lot of content focusing on modern, quick (lazy) recipes, so it's awesome to see someone doing classic cooking that takes time, technique, and care.
Ha! I absolutely fell over laughing with joy when you pulled out the bread to soak up the sauce. For me, the soul of French cooking is in the sauces and a good baugeutte is the ONLY way to enjoy the full experience. I learned how to do it here in France and will never look back. Pepper steak is one of my favorites so this video was especially delightful. Merci Stéphane!
I made this for my girlfriend yesterday - it was so perfect! Felt like I was at a bistro in Paris. Thank you so much for these videos. Mis en place for the win!!!!!!
Made this with a grass-fed beef filet tonight. It was soooo good! Picked up some cognac yesterday, and it added the perfect taste note to this dish. Made pilaf with basmati rice, and a green salad to accompany the beef. Thank you for all these videos - I have learned so much from you.
I was in Paris every 5-weeks for 10-years and ate at a lot of bistros. I agree when saying there is a special flavour in pepper steak - je ne sais quoi is appropriate! Thank you Stephane.
I have now made this recipe four times and every time it does nothing but get better, this is been a favorite of mine for decades and so happy to be able to make it and make it well
I had a 30 year career flying back and forth between the states and Paris. I was fortunate to taste so many wonderful French dishes on layovers but this one was my go to at any restaurant I had not been to before. If they got this wrong, well don't go back. Thank you for the lesson and I am going to try this to give my family a taste of my good fortune spending some time there.
I've always loved steak in creamy pepper sauce but never managed to get it quite right. This recipe changed that. It turned out amazing and everyone who tried it loved it. Thanks so much for the upload!
Made this for my 19 year old daughter. Used a nice little Porterhouse. Followed recipe exactly, hit it out of the park so far I drank Stephane’s share of a great Red.
Came across this video and immediately went out and bought the ingredients to make this - one of the best dinners I've had in a while. Had some sauteed mushrooms on the side that I ate with the sauce. Such a great recipe and such a great video!!
I didnt even know this was the french cuisine way of making sauce before this video! My mom learned me this technique way back and i have used it since. Im a true believer of blending the juices of the meat to create more taste in the sauce. Great video!
I added a bit of maple syrup. Next time I won't add the cream, I like the flavor of the steak's grizzle without much else. Thank you, you have made my cooking much more innovative! I'm incorporating French and Mexican cooking and it's Delicioso!🥰😋
So... I decided to make this today for lunch and it blew my mind how many layers of flavor I got with this few ingredients. I'm usually a kind of perfectionist when it comes to cooking but this was brilliant. I bought a nice brandy from my country (Spain) instead of cognac and a nice cow entrecot and holy smokes the result was worth! I already told my girlfriend I will make this dish on Saturday. Sure she'll love it! Thanks for your content and, even more, your passion about cooking. Kind regards from Spain!
I've never been much of a cook but since Covid I've been cooking like no one business. My husband has been so impressed. Going to make this for him this weekend !
Oh man you make me miss La France. The cooking, the language, the wines, the bread- and to be frank-- french lovers. Here in Denmark I forget it all, No one speaks french, chefs quess more than they know, I end up in discussions so unnecessary....oh la la. Merçi bien èncore!
Added cognac to my shopping list because I'm going for this soon. As a kid I remember following my father's example, buttering bread and dipping it in beef juices then sprinkling with salt. I may have to start doing that again.
I love proper pepper steak with a pan sauce and in fact any pan sauce is brilliant, such as a properly made steak Diane. This has taught me so much. It looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it ASAP.
I made this Monday actually and it was great, I was thinking some stock and wine would have been good and here I see you added it! The sauce was delicious with potato dauphinois, and was delicious in green beans as well.
Just remember, there is no higher state of the art than French cuisine...and this comes from an American that grew up in the restaurant business...simple & superb!!!
Italy is my favorite country & Italian food is among my very favorite, especially northern Italy but French cuisine represent the essence building blocks for any chef wanting to hone their skills.@@angelaberni8873
I really enjoy your videos about cooking. There are many I will never make, but I always learn a technique from watching. This recipe is one I hope to use soon. It looks so easy--except for the timing!! Thanks for sharing.
Made this recipe I added fresh thyme leaves with the shallots it really enhances the flavor. Served it with butter fried potato gratin and blanched asparagus. Just throw this sauce all over that with some white wine and you have a 5 star night out at home.
I do a reverse sear now whenever I cook steak and it never turns out overdone. Bake the steak on a wire rack in a low oven - under 200° - for around 15 minutes or until it’s around 110° inside, then finish it with a quick sear on both sides in a hot pan, maybe 1 minute or so a side. You just want to bring the interior up to around 120°. You get much less of the gray band of overdone meat, just a thin brown crust surrounding a perfectly rare center. And you spend a lot less time fiddling with the steak. I finish by making a pan sauce. I typically finish the steaks with crushed garlic, rosemary and butter, basting them for a few seconds off the heat as the pan cools until the rosemary sprigs start to fall apart. Then I remove the steaks and leave the rosemary sprigs, garlic and some of the butter on them, and cover with foil to rest. I then add a bit of butter to the pan, return to the heat and sauté some shallots. I deglaze the pan with sherry, then add a tbsp of Dijon mustard and a bit of chicken broth. I whisk the mixture together and cook until it reduces. If it splits, just add a bit of water and stir - it’ll come back. Remove from the heat and add a knob of butter once it stops bubbling - you don’t want the butter to split. Emulsifying the butter this way makes the sauce smooth and glossy. Pour in any juices that have accumulated from the resting steak and serve. Amazing!
I like 225°F, it's the nearest setting my convection has above the boiling point of water. For the best results searing, you want a nice dry surface. This way there is less time steaming, more time caramelizing.
@@michealmorris3766 That’s a bit too hot I think. You’re more likely to overshoot your target. You’re really just trying to evenly warm the meat all the way thru, not cook it. It’s a bit like sous vide but without the bags and special immersion heater.
The difference in California are most places use red wine instead of white, and they sauté shallots with sliced mushrooms. Both are delicious! Beautiful ... great video. 💋
Great recipe personal touch I will add 1 tsp of Dijon Mustard for the depth of the sauce and finish the sauce with 1 tbsp. cold butter mixed make the brilliance on top the steak
I made this last week with a nearly identical recipe. I used a courser ground pepper though and as Stephan indicated, reducing the sauce down at each step is crucial to get the most flavour. Igniting the Cognac also adds another depth of flavour you can’t get if you don’t do it.
Merci, Stefan! I made some Brown Jus the other day for Jaegarschnitzel and was wondering what to do with the sauce/gravy tonight and voila, you come up with the perfect solution...
One of my favorite dishes to cook. Brilliant instruction! My wife is a big fan of mushrooms, so your base recipe, I kick it up with some nice mushrooms. Nicely done!
Made this for my wife’s parents today...I’m pretty much invincible now...great video.

The difference in California are most places use red wine instead of white, and they sauté shallots with sliced mushrooms. Both are delicious!
Beautiful ... great video. 💋
Can't wait to make this! Lived in Paris 50 years ago and still can taste it.
Just made this. Don't like wine so left it out. What a dish!!! Tasted so good. Thanks for sharing :)
Great recipe personal touch I will add 1 tsp of Dijon Mustard for the depth of the sauce and finish the sauce with 1 tbsp. cold butter mixed make the brilliance on top the steak
I made this last week with a nearly identical recipe. I used a courser ground pepper though and as Stephan indicated, reducing the sauce down at each step
is crucial to get the most flavour. Igniting the Cognac also adds another depth of flavour you can’t get if you don’t do it.
And let’s be honest, it’s a hell of a lot of fun. Never fails to freak out the wife.
That bistro pepper steak looks amazing. Thx for the video .
thanks 👍👨🏻🍳
Another recipe I want to try...so good. My husband would want more sauce
That looks bloody brilliant. Gotta give it a try this weekend.
Love this channel. So well presented 🇫🇷
Absolutely fantastic mate thank you!!
Merci, Stefan! I made some Brown Jus the other day for Jaegarschnitzel and was wondering what to do with the sauce/gravy tonight and voila, you come up with the perfect solution...
And that completes my adding mushroom circle comment I just left!!
Jaeger sauce!
Made it today, and it was a total winner!
OMG, I can't wait to try this at home. Thank you so much! I love this channel!
I rarely have au poivre, but I love it and have never made it. Can't wait to make it like this with the great techniques you showed here.
