How To Cook Steak Au Poivre with Ludo Lefebvre

Season the beef tenderloin generously with black pepper.

Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the beef tenderloin for about 4 minutes on one side until browned.

Flip the beef and cook for an additional 4 minutes on the other side for medium-rare.

Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest.

In the same skillet, add cognac and flambé to deglaze the pan.

Add heavy cream to the skillet and stir to combine with the cognac sauce.

Serve the steak with the creamy cognac sauce on top.
