Steak Au Poivre

This evening I made some delicious steak au poivre for dinner.  It is really easy and quick.  Takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish. 

Steak Au Poivre

Ingredients:

Seasoning (I used Crushed Rosemary, Crushes Sea Salt and Garlic Salt)
4 Steak Medallions (Cut of steak depends on your preference)
Unsalted Butter 3 Tbsp
1/2 Package Mushrooms Sliced
2/3 Cup (3 fl oz) Cognac or Brandy (I used Cherry Grand Marnier)
2/3 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Tsp Tarragon

Directions:
 
In a Large Frying pan over med-high heat melt 2 Tbsp butter.  While the butter is melting season the steak on both side with the seasoning of your choice.  Add the steaks to the pan to cook.  Turning once for a total of 6-8 minutes for medium rare and longer if you like your steak done more.  Transfer the steaks to a plate and store in the microwave to keep warm. 
Add the remaining 1 Tbsp butter to the pan and melt over medium heat.  Add the mushrooms and saute' until softened (about a minute).  Stir in the cognac, cream and tarragon.  Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to simmer until slightly thickened.  Simmer for more than a 1-5 minutes.  Turn the heat off and return the steaks to the pan to soak into the sauce.  Serve by spooning sauce over the steak onto the plate.  Enjoy!
