abstract:Steak au poivre (, Quebec French pronunciation : ) or pepper steak is a French dish that consists of a steak, traditionally a filet mignon, coated with loosely cracked peppercorns and then cooked. The peppercorns form a crust on the steak when cooked and provide a pungent but complementary counterpoint to the rich flavor of the high-quality beef.
Particularly good: steak frites with sauce aupoivre, coq au vin, roast duckling with wild rice, and tuna filet mignon with roasted beets and greens and white wine caper sauce.
