This steak au poivre recipe, a.k.a. pepper steak, is one of the most popular and delicious French bistro steaks.
Steak au poivre is a very simple preparation of steak that is heavily seasoned with black pepper. It is prepared the same way as other classic French bistro steaks, such as onglet or cote de boeuf. These are traditionally pan fried or pan seared in butter until they are rare or (at most) medium-rare. You can of course broil or grill these steaks, but the advantage of cooking them in a pan is the creation of fond, which is essential for making pan sauce. The sauce formed by deglazing the fond in the pan is a big part of why these steaks are so good.
