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

This dish is served in urban restaurants across France, but can also be found in restaurants across Europe and North America. Anyone and everyone who wants to enjoy this dish now have an excuse to do so thanks to the holiday Steak Au Poivre Day. This holiday is observed annually on September 9th.

The History Of Steak Au Poivre Day

Even though it’s not entirely clear when Steak au Poivre was invented, it is believed to be a mid-20th-century French dish. The traditional way to prepare this steak was to cover it with coarsely-cracked peppercorns and then searing it in butter.

This dish began to become popular during the 1950s and 1960s but has now really begun to become popular not only in France but around the world. It has even been adapted to suit the tastes of several international cuisines including American, Italian, and Mexican cuisines.
