Steak au Poivre

Steak au PoivreThis was great!  The process of cooking the pepper coated steak changed the flavor of the pepper making it almost sweet.  The Potatoes were sweet potatoes that have been living in the freezer since I don’t know when, so I thawed them and sauteed them with garlic and shallot, they were, eh, alright… I don’t really like sweet potatoes, next time I’ll do a bed of mashed potatoes.  However the sauce was awesome

FireIt even tasted awesome.  I can’t wait to get better pans and make more of this stuff.  I highly recommend this recipe.
