Today, September 9, 2014, is National Steak au Poivre Day. Steak au poivre, or pepper steak, is a French dish that consists of a steak, traditionally a filet mignon, coated with loosely cracked peppercorns and then cooked. The peppercorns form a crust on the steak when cooked and provide a pungent but complementary counterpoint to the rich flavor of the high-quality beef. Doesn't that make you want to run right down to Black Angus?
