Ingredients

2 each strip steak sirloin, boneless, thawed
2 teaspoons hot chili pepper oil
1/3 cup armagnac cognac, or bourbon, warmed

Directions

Although it can be grilled with success, traditionally steak au poivre is panbroiled or sautéed.

The pepper for steak au poivre must be crushed in a mortar, cracked with a rolling pin, or whirled in a blender to make rather coarse pieces.

Do not be afraid to use a generous amount.

Freshly crushed pepper is not hot.

About 30 minutes before cooking press the crushed peppercorns into both sides of the steak, using the heel of your hand.

Gauge about 1 tsp. per steak.

Heat a heavy skillet with a very small amount of oil.

Sear the steak on both sides very quickly over high heat.

Reduce the heat and cook to the state you prefer.

When the steak is done, quickly flame it with the warm liquor.

Remove the steak to a hot platter. rinse the pan with a touch of the same liquor and pour over the steak.

Miniature Cheesecakes

Made these for a wedding shower I was having. They were a big hit!! I baked them in mini tart pans instead of the larger muffin pans and topped them with a teaspoon of canned cherry pie filling. I also made them in advance and froze them (before putting on the topping). They froze perfectly. Looked very pretty on the plate with the other squares and cookies. Everyone wanted the recipe!
