Pepper Cream Sauce For Steaks Pasta Or Stroganoff Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a dry 10" skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Rub steak with 1 Tbsp. oil, then season all over with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Cook, turning every 2 minutes and making sure to get color on the fat cap, until browned on all sides and medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 120°F), 10-15 minutes. Transfer steak to a plate. Pour off oil from skillet, leaving crispy bits behind.
• Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and beginning to crisp, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic, season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper, and continue to cook until mushrooms are well browned and garlic is fragrant, 3-4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain and return to pot. Add butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stir brandy and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. Add to mushroom mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then add cream, Worcestershire, and mustard and stir to combine. The heat of the pan will reduce and thicken the sauce slightly-if it doesn't, cook over medium-low heat for about 1 minute. Stir in sour cream until combined and warmed through.
• Slice steak against the grain into 1/2"-thick slices. Divide noodles among plates. Top with steak, creamed mushrooms, and dill, then season with a few cranks of pepper.

Steps:

• Make the shallot marmalade:
• In a medium, deep sauté pan over moderate heat, melt the butter. Add the shallot rings and sauté until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the sugar and vinegar and continue cooking until amber in color and thickened to the consistency of molasses, about 20 minutes. DO AHEAD: The shallots can be made in advance and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 3 days.
• Make the peppered spaetzle:
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and keep at a bare simmer. Fill a large bowl with very cold ice water.
• In a second large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper.
• In a blender, combine the eggs, sour cream, and 1 cup water. Purée until smooth then add to the flour mixture and stir to combine (the consistency should be a little thicker than pancake batter, so adjust with more flour or more water as needed).
• Working over barely simmering water, force half the batter through a spaetzlemaker, food mill, or colander. Let the spaetzle float to the surface-this will take about 1 minute-wait 30 seconds, then use a mesh skimmer or slotted spoon and transfer the spaetzle to the bowl of ice water. Once cool, transfer the spaetzle to a colander to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter. DO AHEAD: Spaetzle can be made in advance and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 2 days.
• Make the peppered crème fraîche:
• In a small bowl, stir together the crème fraîche and pepper. The crème fraîche should have an intense pepper note, so add more pepper to taste if necessary. DO AHEAD: The crème fraîche can be made in advance and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 1 day.
• Make the black trumpet purée:
• In a large sauté pan over moderately high heat, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add 1/2 the mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 the garlic, shallots, and thyme and continue sautéing until the shallots are tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of vinegar and continue cooking until the vinegar is almost completely evaporated, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with the remaining olive oil, mushrooms, garlic, shallots, thyme, and vinegar. Once all the mushrooms are sautéed, reserve about 1/2 cup. Transfer the remaining mushrooms to a blender, add the beef stock, and purée until smooth. With the blender on, slowly add the grapeseed oil and truffle oil, if using, and continue processing until the sauce is smooth, aerated, and emulsified, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and a splash of vinegar if necessary.
• Cook the beef:
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. In a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, heat the olive oil until hot but not smoking. Cook the steaks to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board as done and tent with foil. Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
• To serve:
• In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the mushroom purée. When warm, transfer to a gravy boat or other serving dish.
• In a large sauté pan over moderately high heat, melt the butter. Add 1/2 of the spaetzle and sauté without stirring until golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining spaetzle, the reserved 1/2 cup of mushrooms, and the shallot marmalade and sauté until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving dish.
• Thinly slice the steaks and arrange the meat on a small platter. Dollop the crème fraîche over the meat and sprinkle with the dill. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the peppercorns into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the beef tenderloin filets with salt on both sides, and coat both sides with crushed peppercorns.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil over high heat in a heavy skillet (not nonstick) until the foam disappears from the butter. Gently place the steaks in the pan, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 1/2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to platter, and cover tightly with foil.
• Pour the beef broth into the skillet, and use a whisk to stir the broth and scrape up any dissolved brown flavor bits from the skillet. Whisk in the cream, and simmer the sauce until it's reduced and thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Place the steaks back in the skillet, turn to coat with sauce, and serve with the remaining sauce.

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to package directions; drain., Meanwhile, toss beef with oil, salt and pepper. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute half the beef until browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan; repeat with remaining beef., In same pan, heat butter over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms until lightly browned, 4-6 minutes. Add shallots; cook and stir until tender, 1-2 minutes. Stir in broth, dill and beef; heat through. Reduce heat to medium; stir in sour cream until blended. Serve with noodles.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Sprinkle steaks with kosher salt and crushed black pepper. Heat butter in a 12-inch, heavy bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Once butter is hot, add steaks and cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare and 3 minutes per side for medium. Remove steaks from pan and place on a rack set on a sheet pan; place in oven to keep warm.
• Add the stock to the saute pan and whisk until the crispy bits release from bottom of pan. Allow the liquid to reduce for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add cognac, heavy cream, and green peppercorns to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook, whisking continually, until sauce thickens slightly, just enough to coat the back of a spoon; this will take 5 to 7 minutes.
• Season the sauce, to taste, with kosher salt. Place steaks on plates, top with sauce, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add the butter to an 8-10 inch skillet on medium heat.
• When butter is melted add minced shallot and garlic to pan and saute until shallots are tender. If using mushrooms add them now also.
• Add cracked pepper, beef stock, and heavy cream to pan. If using cheese add it now.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Season raw steaks with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
• Melt butter with oil in pan, add steak and cook to you liking. Remove and set aside.
• Turn heat to medium. Add flour to the pan to make a roux with the pan juices, let cook for 1 minute.(only add enough flour to thicken the mix, don't put so much that it makes the mixture "crumbly" because the flour can overtake the taste and you will end up needing more stock or water).
• Begin adding the stock bit by bit, whisking constantly so it doesn't get lumpy. It will be quite thin once all the stock is added.
• Add pepper steak seasoning to your taste and mix in to the gravy. Keep whisking.
• Add cream and thicken to your liking on a low / medium heat.
• Re-heat steaks in the micorwave for about 30 sec's if you haven't kept them warm.
• Serve with chips or potato mash.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Heat olive oil and butter together in a large frying pan; cook and stir mushrooms, onions, and garlic in the oil-butter mixture until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stir cream cheese, white wine, tomato paste, lemon juice, cornstarch, beef bouillon, parsley, seasoned salt, and paprika together in a bowl; add steak. Pour cream cheese mixture into frying pan with mushroom mixture; cook and gently stir mixture over low heat just until sauce is warmed and smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Add enough milk to reach desired consistency.
• Pour sauce over pasta and toss to coat. Season with black pepper.
