Food Tip |
"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |
| Ginette Olivesi-Lorenzias |
I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead - not sick, not wounded - dead. |

This is SOOOO good. I make it without the sour cream and it is SOOOO
good without the sour cream that it is probably devine with it.
Warning: once you start cooking this, you should have your
accompaniments ready; the cooking goes pretty fast. I heat up a
toaster oven first and when the time comes to keep the steak warm, I
turn OFF the toaster oven and pop the steak in (it JUST fits).
Combine crushed pepper, butter, and garlic into a paste. Spread
evenly on both sides of the steak. Heat oil in heavy frying pan over
medium high heat. When very hot, add steak and brown evenly on both
sides. Allow 7 minutes per side for rare, 8 minutes for medium rare,
and 9 minutes for medium. Place steak on a serving platter and keep
warm. Deglaze the pan with the wine and cognac and cook 1 minute.
Reduce heat, add cream and chopped parsley and continue cooking 1-2
minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt. Carve steak
diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Pour the sauce over
steak and garnish with parsley.
