Steak Au Poivre

This classic French dish starts with quality steaks crusted with fresh cracked black pepper. We top it with a rich brandy sauce made healthier with yoghurt instead of heavy cream. We use a filet from the wider end of the tenderloin, or you could try a strip steak. If you prefer a thick, round filet mignon, increase cooking time by a few minutes. Any way you slice it, it’s delicious!
Ingredient List
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns , crushed
- 4 boneless beef tenderloin steaks (4 to 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
- 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup Mountain High® original plain yoghurt
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
Preparation
- Press the crushed peppercorns firmly onto the tops and bottoms of the steaks, so the peppercorns stick to the steaks.
- Press the crushed peppercorns firmly onto the tops and bottoms of the steaks, so the peppercorns stick to the steaks.
 Heat the vegetable oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook steaks in oil 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until medium-rare to medium (145°F to 160°F). Remove from skillet; keep warm. 
- Heat the olive oil in same skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallot, pepper and salt. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add brandy and sugar; cook for about 1 minute, stirring to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Whisk in yoghurt and flour, combining thoroughly until thickened. Pour sauce over warm filets and serve immediately.
