Our Pairing Suggestion
People typically think of steak and Cabernet as perfect partners (usually true), but this variation on steak au poivre is so aromatic, it actually goes better with a Malbec.
Recipe: Four-Pepper Steak au Poivre
- FAST
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white peppercorns
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried green peppercorns
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon wasabi powder
- 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
- 1 1/2 pounds tri-tip steak, in one piece
- Light a charcoal grill. In a mortar or spice grinder, coarsely grind the peppercorns; transfer to a bowl and stir in the salt. In another bowl, whisk the soy sauce with the wasabi and sesame oil to make a paste. Spread the wasabi paste over the steak and sprinkle with the pepper, gently pressing it into the meat.
- Grill the steak over moderately high heat, turning once, 10 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and serve.
