Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium sweet onion, cut into 8 wedges
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt, to taste
2/3 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon soy sauce
4 teaspoons cracked black pepper
4 (10 ounce) rib eye steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick (about 10 oz. each)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Place the onion wedges in a baking dish. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Stir to coat all the pieces evenly. Roast, uncovered, until browned and soft, about 1 hour. Remove and let stand until slightly cooled.
  • Put the onions in a blender or food processor; add the broth and soy sauce and blend to a smooth puree. Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan, cover and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler or prepare coals for grilling.
  • Press the cracked pepper onto both sides of each steak, using about 1 teaspoons of pepper for each steak. Broil or grill the steaks until seared and nicely browned on one side, about 4 minutes for medium-rare and 5 minutes for medium. Turn and cook 4 minutes more for both medium-rare and medium.
  • Reheat the onion sauce while the steaks are cooking. Spoon the warmed sauce over each steak and serve.

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (4 -6 ounce) beef tenderloin steaks, 4-6 oz each
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 tablespoons trans-fat free margarine
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dry red wine

Steps:

  • Combine pepper and rosemary in large bowl. Coat both sides of steak with mixture.
  • Heat margarine and oil in large skillet until hot.
  • Add steaks and cook over medium to medium high heat for 5 - 7 minutes or until thermometer registers 160 degrees F (for medium).

  • Add wine to skillet and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping particles from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Boil for about 1 minute or until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Spoon the sauce over the steaks and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Peppercorns: Use fresh, high-quality peppercorns for the best flavor. Black peppercorns are the most common, but you can also use white, green, or pink peppercorns for a different taste.
  • Grind the Peppercorns Fresh: Freshly ground peppercorns have a more intense flavor than pre-ground pepper. If you don't have a pepper mill, you can crush the peppercorns in a mortar and pestle.
  • Toast the Peppercorns: Toasting the peppercorns before grinding will enhance their flavor. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the peppercorns. Toast for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Use the Right Amount of Pepper: The amount of pepper you use will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and increase it to taste.
  • Experiment with Different Types of Pepper: There are many different types of pepper available, each with its own unique flavor. Experiment with different types to find the ones you like best.

Conclusion:

Cracked pepper is a versatile spice that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. Whether you're using it as a rub for meat, a seasoning for vegetables, or a topping for salads, cracked pepper is sure to add a delicious touch. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your food, reach for the cracked pepper!
