This vid is so much more than a recipe to make Steak Au Poivre. Chef teaches us technique on technique on technique, including elevated potato and zucchini prep, how to make cracked pepper and as a by-product, ground black pepper, comments about clarified butter and other low-smoke cooking oils, pre-salting meat, the importance of resting meat after cooking, simple but delicious sauces, oven safety, etc. Mind-boggling, actually. Chef possesses that rare combination of talent and teaching ability.
I just love this Chef. His child-like enthousiasm, the wiggling of the fingers when he talks about something good, the funny side jokes and a French person that actually talks English without me thinking he is mad at me.
I’m eager to try this but I need to buy a few new things in addition to the ingredients: 1 electric grinder, half a dozen glass bowls to hold my ingredients (what a great idea), 1 all-metal skillet so it can go straight from hob to oven, unlike any skillet I have, and… I almost forgot… a kitchen redesign to incorporate one oven with barn doors. I’m serious, I really want that oven. I’ll be back in 30 minutes, ready to start cooking.
Just a point: Chef says it frequently, but I think we can all benefit from the reminder-Keep it simple! I hope everyone sees his enthusiasm for the base of his cooking. He understands that butter + cognac + pepper + cream is DIVINE. His recipes are always presented the same way: fussy ingredients and unnecessary technique don’t pay dividends (usually). This offering, live all of his others is wonderful. Thank you!
I agree. Chef JP may not be a Michelin star chef. Maybe he could have become one, but he chose something different. He doesn't cook at the level of Paul Bocuse and the other godfathers of french cuisine. Thank God. Because otherwise some would watch his videos out of interest but nobody would be able to cook the recipes.
On this channel, he takes very good and well-known basic recipes, improves them in details, and then presents them in a way that "a child could do it."
And I find that much more exciting than a channel that presents recipes for which I need 20 ingredients, half of which I can't get locally and which I couldn't cook in my normal everyday life.
Nearly 40 years ago, I had the pleasure of sitting in the most excellent restaurant for the first time, the left Bank.
I had the pleasure of having this most excellent dish prepared at my table side by this most excellent chef.
Thank you so much for years of special occasions, of monthly recipes shared, and years of enjoying your presentations through sunshine cuisine, and now UA-cam.
(I would still like to know how you made my date’s ring disappear, and end up in your key case!).
@ChefJeanPierre._.. though I know magicians very rarely share their secrets, thank you so much for many years of sharing yours😋
Own up, who clicks the thumbs up before they even watch the video ?? Because you are that confident it’s going to be amaaaaaazing !!
I watch Chef everyday for 2 reasons: Learning to make delicious food and bringing some joyous laughter into a crazy world! ❤️ He and Jack make my day!
I'm new here and totally agree on this! And, I'm addicted to this show already
I am not sure what is my favorite part of all of JO's videos, but one thing I always love is his reaction when he bites into his food.
Without exception the greatest gift you impart, time after time, is the realization that “it’s only cooking, we’re not putting a man on the moon” and the freedom to help others to never take cooking too seriously. “Measure carefully” “you don’t like cilantro - don’t put it in!!” - maybe you know how revolutionary this advice and approach is, or maybe you don’t - but you’re literally changing the relationship between the food and the cook, for legions of people, every week. I hope you realize how meaningful your work is - and the actual difference it makes. I hope you never tire of making these videos. I assure you we’ll never tire of watching them!
Salting the meat overnight is a flavor game changer! Thanks for the tip.
We have been enjoying his personality since "Sunshine Cuisine" and "Incredible Cuisine".
So glad Chef Jean-Pierre has created a UA-cam Channel for us to keep learning and enjoying. Truly one of a kind!!!
I agree, brining your steak ahead of time is what the very best steak houses do that give their steaks that incredible flavor! You must use Kosher salt or similar and not table salt though. Not only will the steak be salted throughout but it will also help to tenderize them.
Your obvious joy in cooking and sharing with us makes me smile every time. Jack's graphics are great. They really enhance the comedic quality.
If Jack ever stops being humorous; try reading the closed captions(ha-ha).
I used to be afraid of making sauces because I would always burn it 🤣 Thank you Chef JP for making cooking easy and fun! Thank you Jack for the awesome editing and the content after the credits!
I love his love for butter 😂❤
Also the marbling on those steaks was gorgeous
More brilliance. My cookbook is running out of pages - its all filled with JP recipes. So easy a child could do it!
Have you bought his cookbook? It's awesome with DVDS for more instructions.
@@valeriemills1366sadly I don’t have that yet, however, I already have his two old cookbooks. I only got them used on amazon. One was from a library somewhere in springfield ohio.
@@Batvolle His book is the greatest. It is easy to use and really informative. You may wish to sign up to his mailing list. I bought the cookbook when it was on sale and it is autographed.
@@valeriemills1366 thanks for the advice, i am hooked on everything chef jp though ;)
Chef JP is always animated, but he is especially animated over this recipe. It must be a personal favorite. 😂
You are a treasure Sir. You could be teaching anything and students would be great. God bless you
When I was young I watched Julia Child and the Galloping Gourmet (Graham Kerr). I moved on to others like Yan Can Cook and Paul Prudhomme. Recently, Iron Chef and Bobby Flay and the Food Network. But, Chef Jean-Pierre is now my Go-To. I do cook, but I also love to watch cooking and passion. It's here. Thanks.
I wanted to thank you for all your hard work making me a better preparer of food. You certainly made 2023 a more enjoyable year and there will be no limits to what magic you'll help us all create in 2024. Thank you again and a special thanks to Jack!
Ou, I think I'll make this tonight, it's my birthday today. Thanks for sharing!
Happy birthday, hope you have an amazing day and a wonderful dinner :-)
I will never miss a single lesson from chef he is an absolute genius! Thank you for all the hard work chef we appreciate you!
The steak au poivre, the queen of stakes. In the meantime, I have stowed away my old Julia Child cookery book, which always ended in disaster. It is absolutely fascinating to see that things can actually be explained in a way that everyone can understand it. Thanks a million!
*I am heading to the kitchen now, my wife haws no idea how good she is going to eat tonight!! THANKS!*
What a fabulous chef. I don’t have enough adjectives to sing his praises.
No chef there is never too big of a piece! That looks delicious. My mouth is watering. 😋
This guy is a gift from France.
As a French I must said he is half Italian half French... Meaning for gastronomy... A must 😂
Mmm... Steak Au Poivre made with Chef's delectable sauce - with lots of butter and cognac, of course...
Can't wait to give this recipe a try!
THANK You, Chef!💕
Such joy! Thank you for sharing with us, Chef!
Beautiful video, Chef. These holiday inspired videos are so fun.
Absolutely looks delicious...can't wait to try this recipe... Merci Chef Jean-Pierre.
Amazing as always, Chef! Keep it coming! We are learning.
I had a Steak au Poivre at a restaurant in St. Lo a year and a half ago. It was absolutely amazing! There was an alchemy going on between the steak juice and the pepper sauce. Once I'd eaten about 1/3 of the steak, the steak juices to pepper sauce proportions became too saturated and the effect diminished, but MY GOD! It was good. I made your Boeuf Bourguignon, now I have to make this! Thank you, Chef!
Thanks Chef , I just had breakfast and am now starving for this steak...looks great..!!
I've preseasoned steaks for years but never put it on a rack uncovered overnight in the fridge. We made them tonight on the grill and the flavor and texture was just amazing. Thank you for your suggestion, as simple as it is, I never thought of it and it made all of the difference. I love your approachable techniques and recipes. They are so easy that I have my children help me. So yes, as you say, even a child can do it. Cheers and I look forward to upcoming content while I catch up on your previous episodes.
Chef youre so fun to watch literally smile from ear to ear. God bless!
Since watching your "perfect steak" video I've never made it any other way. But I've yet to make the sauce. I don't know why... I've had it many times in restaurants and absolutely loved it. So now I've taken it as a challenge. Thank you Chef!
You never disappoint Chef JP. Looks amazing. This is one I've yet to try, but I will. Thanks. Cheers!!
Ever since I watched the first video, this sauce is by far my favorite out of all the sauces on the channel! Thank you, Chef!
Thanks again Chef, another delicious recipe I can’t wait to try.
Looks absolutely delicious ❤️👍👍 wish I was there!!
I was already thinking of soaking in this sauce before Chef suggested it ❤ 🤤
Thank you for this delicious recipe!
I went to Chez Joel last week in Chicago for my bday specifically for this steak OMG it's my favorite it's so delicious it is the best
Absolutely incredible I am preparing this soon!!
One of my favorite dishes is steak au poivre - I can’t wait to try your version. Thank you Chef!
You seemed so excited Chef making this French Dish, more than usual I would say.Cant wait to make this one.😊😊
God bless you, Jean-Pierre. We are blessed to have you.
Alway brightens my day. We sure love you Chef!
There is an online sausage making supplies seller called (who woulda thunk it?) called "The Sausagemaker" who sells cracked black pepper of the exact size needed for this recipe or any steak au poivre recipe. I won't say that your channel is the best cooking channel on RubeTube...but it's in the top two. I can watch your recipes all day long without becoming bored.
Thank you Chef 👨🍳!!! For sharing your recipe and You better believe that I will make this dish…😋😋😋
My favorite chef… hands down! AMAZING 😊❤
Oh this is lovely, thanks so much Chef! Bet Jack really enjoyed this!
I love that you have converted me to making and using clarified butter and ghee as my primary oil. Thank you!
I love your happiness and enthusiasm in your presentation. It's quite infectious! I look forward to watching more of your videos and learning. I've always been a southern cook, but I've grown so bored with it all that I have begun experimenting with sauces, and then new dishes all together, and it has put some excitement and enthusiasm in my cooking these days. My friends keep hinting for invites to dinner, so I guess I'm doing something right. What surprises me is that it isn't that much more trouble than a lot of my old favorite dishes.
This has got to be one of the best recipes you and your countrymen have graced the world with and is my absolute favorite. Thank you for the excellent demonstration, my mouth was watering at the prospect.
Thanks for another great recipe, Chef, your channel is one of the best!
I'm not planning to celebrate Bastille Day but I am definitely going to storm this recipe. That is my notion of peppercorn sauce!
I love the idea of celebrating a French holiday!
Happy Bastille Day, Chef Jean-Pierre.
Your Steak Au Poivre looks so mouthwateringly delicious.
Looks like we're having Steak Au Poivre tomorrow night!
Love you work!
just awesome.... thanks chef
Love your videos! Family enjoys the results of your video!
Such a magnificent piece of work by a brilliant chef 👨🏼🍳 nummy 👌🏼
Hi Chef Jean-Pierre! I made your steak au poivre last night. It turned out fantastic. The green peppercorns make a huge taste difference in the sauce (as well as the cognac.) Totally delicious!
I always wondered about your crushed black pepper. Thanks for that simple tip! I am going to do this!
I love my stainless steel. The fond you get off them can be turned into any sauce of your choosing. It makes cooking fun and more delicious. I love watching Chef work it with enthusiasm.
Very funny annotations, Jack. 🤣 You did a great job too, Chef! 😆 Happy Bastille Day! 🎆
I just love hearing you say "butter"! You ssy it with so much zeal!
Thank you, Chef, for posting the video on making clarified butter. I have been unsure of how to do it. I will be making some tomorrow.
Thank you for your delightful videos, teaching us how to cook and enjoy every minute of the process!
Your videos always make my mouth water even if I just finished eating!
I made this exact dish the other night. My wife loved it so much she made me make it again the next day. Thanks Chef!
The gift that keeps on giving
Looks very nice I definitely got to make this recipe. Thanks
I started unconsciously doing the same with my fingers when I eat something cooked according to the chef's recipes😁
I love this channel
I must do this steak. The recipe looks so easy, and i am sure will come out amazing.
Great videos, chef is a master 🙌
I like the zucchini with the dried tomatoes together, such a great idea. Without any doubt this will be on the menu this weekend. Chef you are such a wonderful soul, your enthusiasm is so contagious! Cooking with you (virtually) in the kitchen is such an amazing experience.
I have made this steak about ten times and it is the best steak recipe. Have not used the grill since. I also added cooked mushrooms and capers to the sauce. Awesome.
Another delicious work of art for everyone ❤.
Thanks for sharing chief 🍻
Lov this chef always.... ❤
Yummy Steak , Always thanks for sharing this video AWESOME
Would love this for Bastille day celebrations. Thank you
Yummy yummy steaks. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. More power to you. Love your cooking, JP.❤❤❤
Chef, you are the best. Thanks.
yet another great dish chef.ill be making that one sometime this week for sure ..
Thanks for all the recipes and knowledge. I have been cooking one a day for a few weeks now. Amazing. And my wife is even happier :)
I love the enthusiasm!
Thanks Chef for all your great videos, I am always waiting for when you put up a new video.
This recipe for steak is one of the first things I learned to cook, and it is still to this day one of my favorites.
But now I am even more looking forward to the next time I make it, since you have given me thoughts on how to improve my way of making it.
I have tried the tip with salting the steak 24 hours before making it, and I have to say that really changes the steak from good to butter 🙂
Also I do add mustard, paprika and a little lemon to my sauce witch I think gives it a little extra goodness.
Loved the tip of keeping the green peppers in cognac for preservation, now I do not have to waste the left over green peppers anymore 🙂
Thanks for all your great work 👍
I absolutely love this recipe Jean-Pierre, I've taken to adding just a dab of dijon mustard to the sauce sometimes, it really adds an interesting touch that cuts through the sweetness from the cream. Delicious stuff!
That was fantastic JP. Those steaks had some serious marbling. That sauce was just amazing!!! French steak! Nothing like it.
Hello Chef your cooking is amazing .my favourite steaks
I will try this recipe today.yummmmmy recipe
Are you kidding? I cooked for 30+ years. You are the best. And a great mentor! Heck ya!
Jack appears to be an amazing photographer & Side Kick for you Chef, You should think about having him in Front of the camera for an introduction,
I had a group surround my cubicle today while I watched......😆 Looks delicious once again chef, thank you!!! 🥩 + 🧈 = 🤤👌
thank you Sir to bring that classic style back , greetings from Austria
Wow, my birthday is on two days and now I know what to ask as a gift, the ingredients to cook this steak. Thank you so much Chef!
I thought this was going to be something we hadn't been taught yet! I definitely agree, this is my favorite steak recipe and best of all it's pretty easy. A child could do it!
Outstanding! Years ago I made the original and a year or two later I made a "Cowboy Au Poivre" on the grill using a tomahawk ribeye.
Happy Monday Chef! Thank you
Thank you Chef Jean Pierre!!!
The sauce covered All, for me is the
Is the cherrie on top of a cake!!!
Please chef can from Wich part of the beef it is thank You for Your Amazing dishes and the way that you present them, You open our appetite Merci à bientôt
17:53 his voice says it all, TY Chef!
I've made this recipe from him before and it was perfect! Now I have to make it again to savor the flavor.
Another world class dish from a world class chef 👍
Disclaimer: For six decades, I have loathed cooking. In fact, "loathed" is being kind. However... after watching your videos for a few weeks, I took a crack at a steak with mushroom sauce, both cooked as per your instructions. Surprisingly, they were both absolutely delicious. It's late in life for me to actually learn to like cooking, but I want to thank you for the incentive to try again. If a child can do it, so can I!
Congratulations! Never too late! Cooking is about sharing with people, enjoying yourself and make your guests discover new recipes!
The chefs mushroom sauce video recipe was my first as well. Such a strong hook❤❤
Ahhhhh. That's wonderful. Take it one day at a time. You liked it enough that you did it well and is planning on doing it again.
Congrats! Don't forget the butter!
It's helped me immensely throughout
the years to be proficient at
3 maybe 4 "go to" recipes.
They helped me as a young Bachelor,
and they've helped me after I got Married and incorporated them into
our meal time selections from time to time.
Of course, when we're BBQ'ing I take charge of the Grill, as is a customary right of passage for The Man,
as head of His Household....
but aside from BBQ,
I've mastered the following:
▪️Meatloaf and
Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
▪️Pasta with Meat Sauce.
▪️Baked Lemon Butter Cod with Rice.
▪️Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy
and Baked Potatoes.
All 4 can be cooked and served
in 30 minutes or less.
The Wife appreciates the effort and the break she gets from cooking.
Family and Friends REQUEST your dishes when they're over for a stay.
Cooking doesn't have to be a painful chore. It can be great fun and something to look forward to.
God Bless and All The Best, Cheers 🍻
