Steak Au Poivre with Cognac Cream Sauce
Meaty beef tenderloin gets a quick sear before being doused in a rich and tasty sauce of pepper, Cognac, cream.
In my opinion, nothing rivals the sauté dish known far and wide as steak au poivre. Not only does it taste great, it's also a fine example of two basic culinary skills: sautéing meat and assembling a pan sauce.
I also like the dish personally because it features plenty of pepper.
