Pan-Seared Steak au Poivre
“the bistro classic, in one pan”
A crust of crushed peppercorns on a properly seared steak, deglazed with cognac, then finished in a glossy cream sauce that smells like a Paris bistro at 9pm. Punchy, rich and just a little theatrical — the kind of dinner you cook when you want the night to feel like one.
