Pan Fried Steaks With Green Peppercorn And Mustard Sauce Recipes

PAN-SEARED VEAL STEAKS WITH GREEN PEPPERCORNS

Steps:

• Put veal steaks on a platter and season on both sides with salt. Sprinkle with lemon zest, garlic and thyme sprigs and set aside for an hour (or refrigerate for up to 3 hours, then bring to room temperature). Just before cooking, scrape aromatics from steaks and dust lightly on both sides with flour.
• Put olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal steaks and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove and keep warm. Wipe skillet clean, then add butter and diced shallot. Season lightly with salt and cook, stirring, until shallot is soft and beginning to color, about 3 minutes.
• Turn heat to high, add peppercorns and cook for 1 minute. Add stock and simmer until reduced by nearly half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add crème fraîche and brandy and stir to incorporate. Return veal to pan and continue simmering until sauce thickens a bit, about 2 minutes more.
• Distribute steaks among 4 warmed plates. Spoon sauce over steaks, sprinkle with parsley and crispy shallot, if using, and serve immediately.

PAN SEARED STRIP STEAK WITH GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE AND SALT-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the steaks: Heat 2 cast iron skillets large enough to hold 2 of the 4 pieces of beef until they begin to visibly smoke. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Shut the heat off underneath the skillet and use a pair of tongs to place the steaks in the pan 1 by 1 in a single layer. Turn the heat on under the skillet and brown the first side, 3 to 5 minutes. Try to resist the temptation to turn them over or move them as they cook.
• Turn the steaks on the second side and brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Arrange the steaks on a rack to "rest" while you make your sauce.
• Remove the excess grease from 1 of the pans that was used to cook the steaks and reserve the other pan for the potatoes. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the shallots and cook until they are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the green peppercorns and brandy and cook until the liquid reduces almost completely.
• Stir in the mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest and Worcestershire sauce. Swirl the pan so all of the flavors start to meld together.

• When the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, remove the casserole from the oven and discard the bay leaves.
• Heat the reserved skillet that the steaks were cooked in over medium heat and add the potatoes into the steak drippings. Cook until they brown and become slightly crisp. slightly. Season with salt, to taste.

MARY BERRY'S FILLET STEAK WITH PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Place the steaks between two pieces of cling film and flatten with your hand to about 5mm (½in) thick. Spread the butter over the steaks on both sides and season well with salt and pepper. 2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle pan until hot, add the steaks and fry over a high heat for 2 minutes on each side (see tip). Lift out to rest and keep warm, loosely covered in foil. 3. Pour the stock into the pan (no need to clean it first) and boil to reduce by half, then add the garlic, brandy, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cream and crushed black peppercorns. Stir together as you bring to the boil over a high heat. Season with salt and allow the sauce to bubble away for a couple of minutes to reduce slightly - the consistency should be the thickness of pouring cream. Stir in the parsley and remove from the heat. 4. Spoon the sauce over the steaks, sprinkle with a little more parsley and serve with sauté potatoes and a green vegetable. PREPARE AHEAD: The steaks can be fried ahead and, once cooled, kept covered in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Top with a knob of butter and reheat on a baking sheet in a hot oven for 6 minutes. Serve at once. The sauce can be made up to a day ahead and reheated. MARY'S EVERYDAY TIPS: Rib-eye steak would also work well for this recipe. Keep your peppercorns chunky if you like some texture to the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side (depending on thickness) for steaks that are more well done.
