The Secret to STEAK AU POIVRE Is NOT What You Think 

This was very nicely done. As a chef I would like to just give 2 tips: 1: If you are going to put herbs in the stock try to put hem last like towards the end like last 20 30 mins. You DONT want to to cook herbs for 6 hours it can get really, really bitter. 2 : A tip for a more easier way to separate the fat for the stock just cool it down in the fridge. The fat will seperate by itself and u can just take it off like lid after. :)

Hi from Willow Alaska.. I was a line cook for 20 years and your channel has quickly become my favorite Cooking Channel. You are spot on with your timing and technique and out of the gazillion cooking videos on RU-vid, you’re up there at the very top.... thanks for sharing your skills techniques and recipes =)

The care, time and techniques you employ are truly inspirational. My mouth is watering here and I will try this for a special dinner for family. Thank you for all you do and all the effort you put forth for us to be better cooks. You sir, are simply the best!

I learned how to cook like that in a Kitchen from a french chef. You are giving the trick of the trade AND explain the most important, how to create flavour and transfer them. Kudos for teaching the masses real cooking.

Wow, Stephen! You really knocked it outta the park with this one! There are few restaurants that would make a steak au poivre to this high caliber. You are such a multi talented guy: excellent teacher as well as an amazing cook, and so much talent and work goes into your production. I saw your vid on how you do your videography, presentation, editing and all the technical stuff. WOW! Just Wow! That show revealed so much about you as a person, too. Your talent, your curiosity, and your drive to succeed should carry you far. Looking forward to watching you grow…

I’m not sure how many of these recipes I’ve tried from this channel, but this is the best steak I’ve ever had! The stock alone was beautiful and poured over a quality filet was just outstanding. Like Stephen says with a little work anyone can make this! It’s true! Can’t wait to do it again! My wife and I couldn’t finish the filets so we rushed the leftovers to my son who couldn’t believe how good it was!

Excellent teaching moment, as always. Chef is a classy guy and a great teacher. And, he manages to do what I think is very difficult: Do a commercial and keep me watching because he provides solid information why this pan may be right for me instead of just, "Buy this thing." Chef . . Please more Bistro food.

I think this is the best thing you’ve cooked so far. You just keep getting better & better and I learn so much from you. Thank you!

I cooked steak au poivre a few months ago and the cut ended up being way too big to eat in one sitting because of all the sides that I accompanied with it. The very next day I decided to slice the cut of beef into thin strips and ended up making the most incredibly rich beef stroganoff I have ever done. Absolutely incredible depth in flavor. I highly recommend doing it.

Last time I was this early I didn't know how to cook a proper Steak Au Poivre

When you finished that Demi-glaze, I was so excited by how it looked I actually giggled out loud. My 20 yr old daughter asked what I was watching. “This dude just made an amazing looking beef stock. It’s pretty f’n sexy.” She rolled her eyes but understands me

I've had this a few times and when it's prepared correctly, it's the best steak hands down. This looks delicious!

I love watching your channel. You are such a talented cook and fantastic presenter. Thank you, and be blessed.

Phenomenal recipe and process. Appreciate how detailed you broke the entire thing down. Cannot wait to make this!

Nice. I made a demi-glace very similar to this and served it with a Beef Wellington last Christmas. Hot tip - use the beef that falls from the Oxtail bones with a little of the sauce to make a Ragu for tagliatelle. It freezes really well and you can enjoy an unbelievably good dish of pasta on a chilly January night!

Thank you so much for sharing all the amazing recipes. I have made the braciole, the sauce, the braciole, the wine braised short ribs, the grilled cheese that made your life, and mashed potatoes. The steak au poivre is next. Please keep bringing the no nonsense cooking show that is so great to follow and I love how you include the science of cooking without anyone even noticing. That is the part that keeps me coming back.

Brilliant! I will definitely be making this very soon! Love your channel and content. Keep up the good work, and grats on 1M subscribers!

On point, the sauce looked incredible. The steak a perfect cook. Thanks for recipe, defiantly will give it a try.

I cant wait to make this for New Years eve. I have made the braciole and the short ribs and they both were delicious. Thank you so much for sharing all this information on how to cook , the chemistry of it in such a simple way and how to execute.

I like the ambition and the hearty way u approach cooking, a true lover of food. Keep the chef spirit glowing!

One of my favorite dishes of all time, even loved this one as a child. As an adult, I have tried it many ways. Agree on the darker sauce; lighter (more cream) sauce fits better with steak frites or when adding mushrooms, for my palette. Final note, I often sous vide the steak to 121°F and then sear one side over charcoal, the other on cast iron/carbon steel. It becomes even more absurdly tender and picks up a touch of char in addition to the crust.

Excellent travail mon ami! 🇫🇷 🥩 au poivre is so underrated

As old as I am, I never ever had this type of steak. As for the freezer section for bone broth, never knew I need to pay attention more in the freezer section. This helps tremendously!!! Going crazy now wanting to give it a gander. 2 thumbs up on keeping me interested and having a great teacher 👍 👍

This is a pepper steak masterclass. A splash of good white wine vinegar at the end would be a potent addition to an already almost perfect dish

Chef this was ridiculous. This weekend this is happening here :) Excellent job. I've had this once but it was so long ago I need a refresher. Keep up the great work.

Salivating! I've made Steak Au Poivre a few times before but it's been a while. Crazy fan favorite! This video taught me a few things and I can't wait to give it a new, refreshed attempt. Superb technique and perspective. Very nice!

Oh, that looks and sounds delicious! One of my favorites (when made correctly, like yours) Although it is expensive even to make at home but well worth it if you can. Thank you💓

The bone broth is one of the best recipes I've seen. The cognac changes everything, crepes flambés au cognac are also very good

Man, I`ve seen thousands of cooking videos in my life. Steak au Poivre is my all time favorite dish. The two best I eve had were in Paris and the one I cook. But now, even without tasting it, yours are number 1!!!

You got me hooked on your channel. I started a playlist on your shows & they are tasty. Now I have to find out where your restaurants is so I can start coming there to eat. I’m a New Yorker & my favorite foods are Soul Food & Italian foods that are cooked to perfection & you nail it. Thanks Chef.

I think this is the first one of your videos I’ve seen, great recipe and delicious looking results; thank you for sharing. ❤

Used this to tidy up other channel's vids. Took me a while and a few minor adjustments but this is the best recipe available on YT.

❤ I love how you teach me how to properly feed myself. Thank you!

Great. Thanks. Appreciate the detail on making the stock!!

I just want to thank you so much for this recipe it was amazing and the broth was amazing plus 10% I bought a set & mention also add to the comments your recommendation. I never bought anything from social media but the recipe was 100% detail and the your recipe made it to the top recipe in my house. ❤❤❤

Awesome video, you've inspired me to go try this. I just had a fabulous Steak Au Poivre a month ago in Interlaken Switzerland -- it was to die for. I have high hopes for this recipe.

Appreciate ya brother learn so much and gain confidence every time !!! There's failure but I will over come just trying to slow down thank u for always sharing 🙏

That is a must try for me. I can not wait to make that stock and then consequently that sauce. Nicely done. Take care of yourself and enjoy the day. Best wishes.

This would be the star of my "last meal". Served with hand smashed billowy potatoes, garlic chili oil green beans and a crisp wedge salad. Appetizer of carpaccio AND ceviche. End with a decadent carrot cake with warm caramel sauce served with vanilla bean ice cream. Heaven

That looks so good..... there's nothing better than one of those freshly prepared. ❤

What a labor of love! As much as I love to cook, I don't think I'm this adventurous; but this was very gratifying to watch. Thank you!

Oh hell yes! That stock looks fantastic! Lots of work but the rewards looks wonderful.

This was easily one of the best steak dishes I have ever made. Absolutely amazing recipe!

I'll likely only invest the time to make a stock like that once every few years, but your dedication to doing things the right way is commendable. I have no doubt that sauce is 10/10. Personally, I cook the filet, then deglaze with my own basic beef stock and sprigs of fresh time (pull it out before finishing), toss some brandy in (and flame it), green peppercorns in brine (drained), and then finish with cream and a small amount of butter. Much easier to pull off when a craving hits, but likely nowhere near the same depth as you get from that reduction.

Excellent! Best start to finish process from bones to steak au poivre.

Me watching at 3am and now I'm starving! This looks luscious!!!

Outstanding recipe, can’t wait to try it. Thanks 🇬🇧

What i like so much about cooking is that it never goes out of style. A dish that came about 200 years ago is still viable and just as tasty as when Napoleon ate it. Tnx dude! Love it!

That looks amazing 🤤 Awesome job!

Dude! Absolutely awesome! Many thanks.

How many people would that serve? Two? Please tell me you eat the stock ingredients; that would be an incredible meal in its own right! This really is a labour of love. an awesome anniversary or Valentine’s meal. Love your work Steve!

As a home cook to really enjoy this dish - and it is a great one - I make the bone broth/reduction sauce days ahead. Usually on a rainy weekend when I’m making something else that also takes a long time - a chuck roast, whatever…. So when I do make the steak au poivre it only takes about 25 minutes.

I love sauces. I love the Au poivre, and what I like about it is I can make a bunch (like 4 Dutch ovens worth) and portion it out in freezer silicones and then wrap them for storage. Need a sauce for weeknight dinner? Boom, it's there. I always make this on the weekend though so I can enjoy the sauce that day then save the rest....or use it on some eggs the next day for an egg sandwich or omelette, etc.

Steak Au Poivre is my favorite way to steak. Great video!

Fantastic video, thank you. That looks amazing!

That looks so delicious. Thanks man.

fantastic process. I can't wait to try it.

Another fantastic episode ❤ nice work!!

You are an excellent teacher! Awesome work.

Wow that looks amazing. I will have to try it some day.

The metal clang sound when you drop the carbon steel pan was chef's kiss 👌👌

I am doing that stock almost like u do, and its amazing. I said almost, cause instead of only water i cook in a bootle of red wine... cabernet sauvignon or malbec or rioja. This will give the stock even more punch 😅

That looks amazing! Thanks.

Thanks for the great video, and yes home made stock is unbeatable.

I made a demi-glace with deer bones, a while ago. (3€ for 1kg of deer bones with quite some meat on it!) The meat I used for a soup, later. A pasta dish would have worked very well, too! And don't discard the fat that you've been skimming off the broth! It's pure gold! You can even have it on some bread with just a little salt (to taste)! Greetings from the far north of Germany!

This is my fave steak dish to cook. When done right few things in life are better

Use a food processor for the peppercorns, sift through a strainer. Use the dust for the table, the coarse ground for the recipe

Can I just say thank you for showing me the way that those chef point of views happen by way of holding a camera/GoPro handle in your mouth. I always wondered how that happened. Oh and what a great recipe too!

Looks so good! The most classic French steak cuts are the Entrecôte (mostly a Rib Eye) or the Côte de Boeuf (Rib steak). It's funny that English-speakers use the French word Filet Mignon for beef. In French, the Filet Mignon cut refers exclusively to pork. For beef, we just say Filet.

As a financial advisor, who started in kitchens, I can say that there is great wisdom within. The wisest words of all, the start of my pamphlet on wealth-building is a line which echoes what you said at the end, "GO FEED YOURSELF!". 5 stars!

Thanks! Was fun to watch.

That was awesome to see, thank you!

Dude.. I was literally thinking mere hours ago "I wonder how to make steak au poivre?" You are a frickin MIND READER and a GENIUS 🥩

That sauce looks perfect. The steak is slightly overcooked for me, and i am not sure about burning the peppercorns in the pan. Thank you for the work that went into this.

Interesting, new, different & Fun to experience in the watching. YES - 5-Stars for YOU.

I tried making this for the first time (sorry, learnt it from French Cooking Academy -- but love your channel). Unfortunately most of the ingredients needed, especially for the brown sauce, are hard to get or too expensive. So I had to compromise. Ended up just grabbing HP sauce and watering some down to make the brown sauce. Used a cheap Indian whiskey and white wine. Turned out pretty good. Maybe next time I will try to find something else to use instead of HP sauce. hehe... Love this channel!

I made this last night and it was one of the best steaks I ever ate in my life. I was looking for a good steak recipe that I could use my homemade beef stock in. The only problem was I looked in three stores and couldn't find those stupid green peppercorns. Still, the sauce was good enough without them and went nice with the mashed potatoes that I set the steak on top of.

idk about where you live, but in the NW you cannot find oxtail for less than $10/lb. Between that, bones and veg, I feel like you can get a pint of small batch stock from a butcher for less.

I’m french, in France we add frites with the steak au poivre for her sauce. 👌🏻 From Marseille (⚜️France).

... there it is! Marvelous!

This looks so freakin good! I just ate and I’m pretty sure I’d eat that whole steak.

Great explanation of an awesome dish. I was just put off by the silver skin on the steak shown/salted initially. Should that not be trimmed before salting, but definitely before cooking?

I’m definitely making this!!!

learned about this from binging with babish and archer, I've never even made it properly (usually just mixing heavy cream, dijon mustard, and tons of fresh pepper into the pan fond) and it's always blown me away with how good it is

Thar looks delicious and one of our favorites. Thanks!

I’m definitely heading to the meat packing shop to get a full tenderloin. This is amazing. I have a favorite place in Chicago that I used to frequent. This will be worth the drive.

Looks very good and not insanely labor intensive. I will try this one soon. Thanks for the great videos.

I will try this out, this sunday. Watched it like 5 times the past 2 weeks. Looks like the sauce alone will cost here in Poland around 25 Euros considering the Cognac, Vegetables and around 2 kilos of beef bones as this is what you have used i think. (I converted lbs to kilos). There are many restaurants which offer steak au Poivre but definitely not with such a long procedure. I have already ordered the same beef peaces of beef at my butcher. Will update on Sunday!

I've made a Venison Tenderloin with a creamed peppercorn sauce..It was boss, this is on a whole new level!!

A Spectacular Take on My Favorite Steak!!!

I love this recipe. It's not about cooking the steak, cause you can get it in all shapes and cuts and sizes. This sauce though. I've got the fixins for it in the freezer. I've got a beautiful prime rib/steak. Make enough sauce and serve it with furikake sushi rice? Oh hell yeah.

This is my favorite way to eat steak with sauce. Drooling right now… 🤤

I followed your recipe exactly. Same amounts and same cook time- incredible and time consuming, but worth it.

ohohoo, this is my way how I do steak home, only I massage the steak with dijon mustard which gives it great taste and then dip in in peppercorns. Tenderloin I prefer medium-rare doness, with some fries so they get partialy soggy with the meat juice and sauce. This way the steak is just divine. Thanks CHEF!

I can always smell the stock when I'm watching videos like this. well done.

Such a beautiful sauce! Absolute decadence. I'm inspired to execute that bone demi glaze. Thank you!

This looks so delicious!

OMG that looks absolutely amazing! One of my favorite ways to have a filet.

Excellent recipe!

Wow, that‘s dedication! ❤🎉
