Pepper adds the perfect hit of heat to tender steak, which, for this recipe, should be 1/2 to 1 inch (1 to 2.5 cm) thick. For extra flavour, top it off with Herb Butter, one of the Aiolis or a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp black peppercorns
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 grilling steaks, (about 8 oz/250 g each)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Preparation
Place peppercorns in resealable plastic bag. Using flat side of mallet or heavy saucepan, crush peppercorns until size of sesame seeds; place in small bowl. Mix in garlic, mustard and oil. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.)
Trim fat from steaks. Spread pepper mixture around edges. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.) Sprinkle with salt. Place on greased grill over high heat; close lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Transfer to warmed platter; tent with foil and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
