Steak Au Poivre
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2
2 Omaha Steaks Butcher’s Cut Filet Mignons (5-6 ounces each), thawed
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1/3 cup brandy or cognac
1 cup cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Season steak with salt and pepper. Press seasoning into meat to create even coating.
In large skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon butter until just smoking. Add steak and sear 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Once cooked to desired doneness, transfer steak to cutting board and tent with foil to rest.
Reduce heat to medium and add brandy to skillet. Allow to cook down about 1 minute while stirring to scrape off any browned bits from bottom of pan. Once brandy reduces by half, add cream, Dijon mustard and remaining butter; continue cooking until mixture begins to reduce and thicken, 5-7 minutes.
Slice steaks against grain and top with sauce.
