Steak au Poivre
with summer vegetable saute

Active: 35 min Total: 35 min
A great cut of steak can really shine when it is perfectly seasoned and cooked to your liking. We love Steak au Poivre ("Black Pepper Steak") cooked on the grill, but the simple preparation will shine equally well if the steak is cooked on the stovetop.
Smarts: One secret to a tender, juicy steak is resting it after cooking, so don't skip that step.

Season with black pepper and salt. (Note: As the name implies, these are peppery steaks. If you prefer less pepper, feel free to reduce the amount listed.)

Make

  1. If making steak on grill: Preheat grill to 500F / 260C degrees. Clean grates and brush with some oil. Place steak over direct heat. Sear steak for ~4 minutes on each side with the cover closed. Move steak to indirect heat and cook until it reaches desired level of doneness. Medium-rare: 130F / 54C degrees (~3 minutes); Medium: 140F / 60C degrees (~6 minutes); Well-done: 160F / 71C degrees (~10 minutes).
  2. If making steak on stovetop / oven: Heat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with cooking oil. Place steak onto hot pan. Sear steak for ~4 minutes on each side. Lower heat to medium, cover with foil, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare; another 4 to 7 minutes for medium; 8 to 10 minutes for well-done.
  3. Let steak rest, covered with foil, for ~10 minutes.
  4. While steak rests, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and then green beans. Saute until green beans are heated through, ~1 minute. Add bell peppers and broccolini and saute until all of the vegetables are tender, ~3 minutes more. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in dill, lemon juice and vinegar. Season with some salt and pepper.
  6. Slice steak against the grain. Serve with vegetables on the side. Enjoy!
