Ingredients
Steak au Poivre:
- 2 (12 to 16-ounce) boneless New York cut shell steaks, tenderized
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Coarsely ground black pepper, to cover both sides of steak
- Olive oil, for sauteing
- Salt, to taste
Mushroom, Green Peppercorn, and Dijon sauce:
- 4 tablespoons whole, unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup shallots, minced
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons green peppercorns, packed in brine
- Salt
- Pommes Frites, recipe follows
- Garlic Aioli Sauce, recipe follows
- Fresh Vegetable Relish, recipe follows
Directions
Use a meat mallet to slightly reduce the thickness of each steak. Spread both sides of each steak with a thin coating of Dijon mustard. Sprinkle with salt and cover both sides with coarsely ground black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steaks 3 to 4 minutes on each side. The steaks should be rare at this point. Set them aside and lightly cover them so they stay warm. Do not wash out the pan.
Mushroom, Green Peppercorn and Dijon sauce:
Heat the butter in a medium sized saute pan over medium-high heat and saute the garlic and shallots for approximately 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, raise the heat to high, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add beef stock, cream, and mustard, and then reduce the sauce by 1/2.
Once the sauce is made, reheat the skillet, in which the steaks were cooked, to medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for another 2 minutes on each side for a medium-rare steak. Transfer them to dinner plates, which have been coated with the mushroom Dijon sauce. Once you plate the steaks, spoon more of the sauce on top of each steak.
Serve with Pommes Frites, Aioli, and Vegetable Relish.
Pommes Frites:
- 2 to 3 large russet potatoes
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce:
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lemons, halved
- 4 to 6 egg yolks*
- Olive oil
Finely mince 1 or 2 cloves of garlic in a food processor. Add in the egg yolks and then squeeze the juice from a couple of lemons into the processor bowl. Blend the ingredients together until they fully integrate. While the mixture processes, slowly drizzle in olive oil until the sauce emulsifies.
Notes
*RAW EGG WARNING
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
Fresh Vegetable Relish:
- 1 to 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 to 2 carrots, diced
- Feta cheese, crumbled
- Fresh dill, chopped
Dice all of the ingredients and combine them in a medium sized bowl. Stir the diced vegetables together, until they are fully integrated.

This recipe is excellent whether sauteeing or grilling au poivre filet mignon or NY cut strip.
I have used a slight variation for more than fifteen years in my restaurant and it has stood the test of time for a simple yet deliciously appealing dish. I would add a garnish or some kind but otherwise it is excellent and I will serve it tonight with grilled vegetables and seared tuna as a starter with a piquant sauce to my step-son on his 27th anniversary.

I have only prepared the steak, not the potatoes, but it gets rave reviews from friends and family! I modify it by using chicken broth and ground green peppercorns (1/3 the volume of peppercorns packed in brine because the peppercorns are hard to find in my city. The chicken broth gives it a lighter flavor, very very very good recipe!
