steak au poivre
French peppered filet
Steak au poivre is a French dish of beef steak coated with cracked peppercorns and pan-fried, typically finished with a cream and cognac sauce.
The name means "pepper steak" in French.
It's a classic of French bistro cooking: We ordered the steak au poivre and a bottle of Burgundy.
