How to Make Steak Au Poivre Peppered Steaks With Cognac Cream Sauce
- Pat the steaks completely dry with paper towels. Generously coat both sides of each steak with cracked black peppercorns, pressing firmly to adhere.
- Season steaks with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until butter is melted and shimmering.
- Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove steaks from skillet and set aside, tenting loosely with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, pour in cognac or brandy. Carefully ignite the brandy (using caution!). Once flames subside, tilt the pan and let the alcohol deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it reduces by about half, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Add the beef bouillon, lemon juice, and red wine to the deglazed pan. Stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Stir the reduced cream into the pan sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place each toasted bread slice on a plate. Top with a seared steak and generously spoon the cognac cream sauce over the steak.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
