Question

a really good PEPPER STEAK Recipe

Answer 1

There are two ways to make pepper steak - one with green peppers, the other with peppercorns. I'll give you my recipe for the peppercorn variety.


Peppercorn Rub:
2-lb. slab of top siroin (lovely flavour and always tender), cut 3/4 inch thick, or 4 tenderloin or New York Strip steaks 3/4 inch thick
3 tablespoons mixture of whole green, pink, and black peppercorns (you can buy these all at "Bulk Barn" or a spice store)
Divide peppercorn mix into two parts - 2 tablespoons and one tablespoon
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 smashed (really important - this releases the oils!), then chopped, clove garlic
salt to taste
1 pound thinly sliced mushrooms, stems removed - the cremini (brown) or portabello variety is best
2 tablespoons butter/olive oil mix (half and half)
1/2 cup of Port wine (Marsala is good too, but use on 1/4 cup of Marsala and mix with 1/4 cup water - it is very sweet)
half & half cream to thicken and cream-ify!

For the rub:
Use a pepper mill to grind the mixture of whole peppers - use a medium to large grind - you don't want fine pepper, you want pepper pieces that are a bit chunky, like ground peanuts. Place 2 tablespoons ground pepper in a glass bowl, along with olive oil, smashed garlic, and salt to taste.
Press pepper mixture onto both sides of steaks, and marinate in refrigerator for 4 hours, or overnight.

Keep remaining tablespoon crushed pepper in a bowl covered with plastic wrap.

Grilled steaks:
One hour before cooking, remove steaks from frige. They will cook better, and the flavours will be better, if they are cool or room temperature before cooking. Remember they are thick, so cook a bit farther from flame or broil, turning only once with tongs not a fork. Medium doneness is best for flavour. Shoud allow 8 - 10 minutes per side (depending on how hot your heat source is).

Peppercorn Sauce:
In a skillet, melt butter/oil mixture over medium heat. Before it browns, but after it froths, put in remaining peppercorn mixture. Saute over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Add sliced mushrooms, keeping heat at medium, until mushrooms are semi soft.
Add Port wine or Marsala and reduce heat to simmer. Let mixture simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
If it appears too liquid, simmer another 5 minutes on low heat uncovered.
If it appears too dry, add 1/4 cup water and simmer 5 minutes covered
Salt to taste - no pepper needed!
Remove from burner and cover until steaks are done, which should be any minute!

Transfer steaks to a serving platter decorated all over with curly lettuce and edged with sliced tomatoes and strawberries.
Add cream to peppercorn sauce, stir while heating through over medium heat.
Drizzle some sauce over steaks on platter, and put remainder in gravy boat with a spoon.

This is quite peppery, but is absolutely excellent. If your taste buds are tender, cut the pepper down to 2 or 1 tablespoon. All other amounts should remain the same.

It is really all ready in 15 minutes, once the peppers are milled and the ingredients are ready!

An excellent side is a simple mixed green salad with red onion and sliced strawberries with a balsamic & lemon vinaigrette - a slice of strawberry with a slice of peppercorn steak is a marvelous thing!!

You can also try some fresh asparagus, steamed, and tossed in raspberry balsamic vinaigrette (basalmic vinaigrette with pureed raspberries, of course!) and serve it warm.

Another tip for steaks - use coffee grounds that have made drip coffee that day instead of peppercorns in the rub - unbelievable! Just use peppercorns in the sauce.

Serve a homemade iced tea (2 litre jug) with pureed rasberries (1 cup of the frozen kind, pureed and the juice of 2 limes in it - garnish with lime slices - add a splash of tequila and rum (yes - together!) for a party atmosphere - just don't drive!

I hope you enjoy this - we love it!
Good Luck!
