Steak au poivre, attempt 1
First attempt at steak au poivre from "The Joy of Cooking." It turned out entirely adequate, despite the fact that the steak was from Walmart and the peppercorns were ancient. Crushed the peppercorns with my mortar and pestle. Haven't done *that* in ages.
Add I accidentally doubled the amount of butter for the sauce, which was easily correctable by doubling the other ingredients as well. Next time I need to remember that a stick of butter is half a cup, and I only need a quarter cup.
Probably time to throw out the old spices and get new ones.
Note: this was actually a pretty easy recipe. I should definitely repeat it. It would make a good weekly addition to my diet.
