A delicious French dish that’s beginning to gain popularity around the world is called Steak au Poivre. This dish consists of a traditional filet mignon coated with coarsely cracked peppercorns to form a crust on the steak. The pepper provides a strong and pungent contrast to the taste of the meat, which helps to bring out the meat’s flavor.
