This is a great dish if you love black pepper. I also add a bag of defrosted pearl onions to the last 5 minutes of cooking time and I cook my meat longer since we like very well done meat. I have made this twice and the quality of the meat really makes a difference.

Ingredients

2 pounds beef, round steak top, cut 1 inch thick
1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper crushed
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup red wine dry
2 tablespoons cognac
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream optional
2 tablespoons parsley leaves fresh, chopped
1 x salt
1 x parsley sprigs

Directions

This is SOOOO good.

I make it without the sour cream and it is SOOOO good without the sour cream that it is probably devine with it.

Warning: once you start cooking this, you should have your accompaniments ready; the cooking goes pretty fast.

I heat up a toaster oven first and when the time comes to keep the steak warm, I turn OFF the toaster oven and pop the steak in (it JUST fits).

Combine crushed pepper, butter, and garlic into a paste.

Spread evenly on both sides of the steak.

Heat oil in heavy frying pan over medium high heat.

When very hot, add steak and brown evenly on both sides.

Allow 7 minutes per side for rare, 8 minutes for medium rare, and 9 minutes for medium.

Place steak on a serving platter and keep warm.

Deglaze the pan with the wine and cognac and cook 1 minute.

Reduce heat, add cream and chopped parsley and continue cooking 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Season to taste with salt. Carve steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.

Pour the sauce over steak and garnish with parsley.

Navajo Fry Bread

I think that the Navajo fry bread recipe is great! I made the bread for a school project, we had to do a project on the Navajos, and it turned out wonderful.
