Wise to the Word: Steak au Poivre

Steak au Poivre

(stake oh PWAHV rh)

Sunday is National Steak au Poivre Day. Who knew?

If you want to join the celebration, buy a steak and coat it with crushed peppercorns before sautéing.

Steak au poivre is usually topped with a pat of sweet butter or a simple sauce made from pan drippings or pan drippings and red wine. In some restaurants, steak au poivre is presented by flaming the meat with brandy.
