I’ve written about Home Chef before in this post, and promised that I would tell you all about making Steak au Poivre and the amazing sauce that I can’t stop thinking about!
Just because it has a fancy name does not mean this is hard to make. I loved learning how to make it usingHome Chef meal delivery system, and it is a recipe that I will make again, especially for special occasions.
There is much to love about Home Chef, but my most favorite thing is that it gets me out of my comfort zone and shows me how to make delicious food that I would not have otherwise have learned how to make. Steak us Poivre is one of those things.
Steak au Poivre is a French pepper steak recipe that uses peppercorns to help form a delicious crust on the steak. The peppercorns compliment the natural flavor of the steak. I was afraid it would be too spicy for my palate, but it was not. It was perfection.
What made this recipe so memorable for me was two things: the peppercorn crust on the steak and the AMAZING sauce that is served with it. The sauce made this a recipe that I must eat again, it was so good I wanted to drink it! I could not believe the amazing flavor.
I was so proud to serve this recipe to my family. It was beautifully presented and tasted divine. We felt like we were dining at a 5-star French restaurant, thanks to Home Chef!
Steak au Poivre Recipe
2 Sirloin Steaks
1/4 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Cracked Black Peppercorns (divided)
2 tsp olive oil
2 Tbsp Butter (divided)
2 oz Sherry Wine
4 tsp Beef Demi-Glace
Make Steak Au Poivre
Take steaks out of the refrigerator and let set about 30 minutes to come to room temperature. Pat steaks dry, and season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt. Sprinkle half the cracked peppercorns (reserve remaining for the sauce) on one side of each steak, pressing gently to adhere.
Place a medium pan over medium-high heat (I used a cast iron pan) and add 2 tsp olive oil. Add steaks, peppercorn side down, pressing firmly into place. Reduce heat to medium, add 1 Tbsp butter (reserve remaining for the sauce) and cook undisturbed until browned, 4 minutes. Flip, and cook until steaks reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes. Transfer steaks to a plate and rest 5 minutes. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.
Note: I prefer my steak medium-well, so I put them in the oven at 350 degrees for just a few minutes.
Make Steak au Poivre Sauce
Return pan used to cook steaks to high heat. Add remaining peppercorns and toast 30 seconds.
Add sherry, bring to a boil, and cook 1 minutes. Add remaining evaporated milk and demi-glace, return to a boil, and cook 2 minutes. Remove from burner and stir in remaining butter. Transfer sauce to a bowl to serve with steaks.
Home Chef Meal Delivery System
Home Chef is a fresh ingredient and recipe meal delivery service. It is “Home Cooking Made Simple” and delivers everything you need for a delicious meal. An insulated box is delivered to your door and stays cold until you get home, with no signature required.
I was giddy with the idea of a chef creating recipes, planning my menu and shopping for me!
A meal delivery service means no grocery lines, no menu planning, no fighting traffic while driving to the store, no parking lot struggles (or in my case remembering where you parked), no wasting money on unhealthy takeout, and perfectly portioned ingredients which means no waste.
The Home Chef website is really easy to use. You choose between 13 easy-to-follow recipes which are always updated. They offer meat, seafood, low-carb, gluten-free options and also vegetarian options. They use ingredient suppliers withsustainable practices & who benefit the ecosystems in which they operate.
One of my favorite things about Home Chef was that you can edit the number of weekly meals or servings you receive, skip a week or pause your account with the click of a button. Subscriptions are easy and flexible, and there are no binding contracts so you can try it with no commitment and cancel at any time.
The process is so fun: unpacking the box, setting out the ingredients, reading over the illustrated step-by-step instructions on the meal recipe card, filling my home with amazing food aromas & presenting a beautiful meal to my loved ones.
Home Chef Recipes – Baja Fish Tacos & Steak au Poivre
I’ve made 2 Home Chef recipes: Baja Fish Tacos & Steak au Poivre. Both were absolutely delicious!
I loved learning cooking techniques I have never done before, along with simple tips I can reuse over and over.
I also love that the recipe card is for the entire meal, so that at the end of about 30 minutes the main dish and side dishes are all done at the same time! Home Chef does all the thinking for you. I REALLY like that.
When I’m planning my own meals the side dishes are more like an afterthought, and I use whatever I have at home. With Home Chef, the meal components go so well together because the side dishes are planned by a real chef, to go perfectly with the main course, like the slaw topping for these fish tacos, or the cauliflower gratin side dish that came as part of the Steak auPoivre.
Convenience and confidence–these are the 2 words I think of when summing up my Home Chef experience. It can’t be any more convenient and my confidence as a home chef was at an all-time high making such easy, beautiful and delicious meals!
