Crusty Grilled Peppercorn Steaks Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the beef stock to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Immediately lower to a simmer and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 45 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the strip steaks with the salt and pepper and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Place the steaks on the grill, evenly spaced, and grill for 2 1/2 minutes; rotate a quarter turn and cook another 2 1/2 minutes¿this creates cross-hatch sear marks. Flip the steaks and repeat on the reverse side. Remove steaks to a baking sheet and let rest for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Combine 2 tablespoons of the butter, the shallots and the five-peppercorn blend in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the shallots and peppercorns are fragrant and the butter is beginning to bubble. Off the heat, add the brandy and the red wine. Carefully place the saucepan back on the burner and allow the brandy and wine to flame. Add the reduced beef stock and the heavy whipping cream, bring to a boil and immediately lower to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has reduced by two-thirds, about 8 to 10 minutes. Prior to serving, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into the sauce, then remove from the heat.
• With a sharp knife, slice the steaks 1/2-inch thick on the bias. Transfer to a large serving platter and spoon over the five-peppercorn sauce. Garnish with the minced parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Rub pepper over both sides of steaks. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. In an ungreased skillet, brown steaks on both sides over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; add butter and garlic; cook for 4-6 minutes, turning steaks once. Add Worcestershire sauce; cook 4-6 minutes longer, turning once, or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Remove steaks and keep warm. , Combine wine or broth, mustard and sugar; add to the pan. Stir to loosen browned bits. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with the steaks.

Steps:

• Preheat grill or side burner. Heat oil in a medium skillet add shallots and garlic and cook until soft, let cool slightly. Place butter in a small bowl and add shallot mixture, Worcestershire, mustard and chives and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Scrape mixture into the center of a piece of waxed paper and roll into a log. Refrigerate until firm.
• Preheat grill. Mix the peppercorns and ancho chile powder in a medium baking dish. Brush steaks with olive oil and season with salt. Dredge one side of the steaks in the pepper mixture and grill, pepper side down, until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes, turn over and continue grilling 6 to 7 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Remove from the grill and top with a slice of the butter.

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, hot red pepper flakes, peppercorns, rosemary, and olive oil in a Zip-loc bag. Add the beef, coating it with the marinade. Squeeze all the air out of the bag so the beef is enveloped by the marinade, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the grill or broiler for 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle the steak with the salt and grill or broil to rare or medium rare, depending on your preference.
• The cooking time will depend on the thickness and temperature of the beef, so push at the steak with your finger, and if it still feels totally raw in the middle, give it a little longer.
• This is one of the things that cooks just need to intuit and learn to read the silent signs. Better under than overcooked, so check often, and if your finger defeats you, cut the steak with a knife and have a look. Let the steak rest for at least an hour, to get the juices back into the meat, then cut into short, very thin slices. (The best knife for slicing is a bread knife with wavy rather than pointed teeth, which cuts through beef amazingly well.) Serve on Grilled Garlic Crostini.
• Arrange a few shaved slices of beef on each piece of bread, top with a pungent dot of Horseradish Cream, scatter with minced Italian parsley, and dust on a little kosher salt.
