Dixie Quicks peppercorn / steak au poivre @ home

^sorry I did not get a final pic

Got this idea from triple D when they visited Dixie Quicks (Site seems down) in Omaha. YOUTUBE of episode (recipe 2 mins in)
Mixing fresh peppers and onions into the sauce seemed like a great idea since we have modified the standard anyway.

We have been rocking the peppercorn steaks for a long time. It was getting a bit old and we decided to chill on them for a while. I saw the vid and knew we had to try it. I picked up the biggest NY strip I could find, some Anaheim peppers, and onion. I really did not check the steak enough and it was not a good cut at all :( Still decided to try it out because the sauce looked so interesting.

see the rest of this post…….. »

Lightly coated the steak with cracked black tellicherry peppercorns and salt to sear the sides. Loaded it in the toaster oven to cook through.

After searing the steak in some clarified butter in went the onions and peppers to get them sweated.

added some concentrated beef broth to deglaze the fond and begin the sauce.

Added some table cream and simmered the sauce to a consistancy we like and poured over the steak and mashed potatoes. The steak was bad, but the sauce was simply amazing. I doubt we will ever go back to it without the onions and peppers.

figured out a secret last week. put the basil on top of the sauce but under the cheese to keep the flavor in there and not let it burn

whoa, that’s fascinating…

Loves me those Le Quartier pizza crusts. Really light sauce, fresh mozz, garlic salt, black pepper, and mushrooms and olives that pee all over the pizza and make me have to soak it up with a napkin :(

first NE corn

A week early, but we decided to do it anyways. Headed tot he Old Cheney farmers market and picked up some good stuff. Only one place was selling corn and it was only $5 a dozen and we ended up with 17 ears to make up for the size. Boiled in the brewing equipment outside, tossed into a cooler full of ice, and zipped the corn. Got 3 pretty good servings out of it because we figure that will make us through the week. It is corn season and we are ready to go.

Next week the holy grail of sweet corn producers around these parts and we are not ready. Daniels sweet corn is the absolute best. They pick the morning of sale and hydro cool the corn to 38 degrees from picking time for sale that day.We still need a better way of storing it and after asking around on the forum and the web we found you do not can corn, you freeze. Now we froze our crop last year and learned about freezer burn. We are awaiting our next payday to get a vacuum sealer food saver.

Basil, gonna wait till we get the sealer to send.
