strip Steaks au Poivre

Nguyên liệu

1 large shallot

4 garlic cloves

3 thyme sprigs

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

½ cup heavy cream

2 (1½-inch-thick) New York strip steaks (about 1½ pounds total)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns

2 tablespoonsvegetable oil

⅓ cup cognac, dry sherry, or brandy

Flaky sea salt

Hướng dẫn

+ Pat 2 New York strip steaks dry with paper towels. Season

about 2 minutes. If you've never basted a steak and want to learn how, right this way! Insert your instant- read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Once it registers 120°F, transfer it to a cutting board to rest.

• Make the pan sauce: + Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet along with the sliced garlic, shallot, and crushed peppercorns. Cook, stirring often, until the shallot and garlic are softened but not browned, 4 to 5 minutes.? + Turn off the heat (cognac is flammable!) and add ⅓ cup cognac. Return the skillet to medium heat and cook until the cognac has mostly evaporated and your spoon leaves streaks in the skillet when you stir, 1 to 2 minutes. + Add ½ cup heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and cook until it coats the back of a spoon, about 1 minute. Season with kosher salt.

Serve:

+ Slice the steak against the grain. Not sure what the grain is or how to find it? Right this way. Transfer to a serving

platter. + Pour any resting juices back into the skillet and stir them into the sauce. Spoon the sauce generously over the steak, season with flaky sea salt, and serve immediately?
