I think I am about this guy's age and I started cooking professionally when I was in my late teens; around 1980 - this means I can relate absolutely to what Jean-Pierre is doing and saying - this is as good as it gets!! Take this guy seriously - I most certainly do...!
I was a saute chef back in the 80 too and I made this all the time. I knew it was good when the other chefs would ask me to make it for their dinner... quality brown stock and use the peppercorn brine...awesome
I just discovered him and I've been watching and learning for days! My kitchen doesn't even rate as subpar and I'd be embarrassed to do such fine cooking in it.
I love that unlike a lot of professional chefs, JeanPierre is truly happy to show us the easiest ways to make amazing food. The least pretentious chef out there ❤️
It's been 2 years since JP put this video up and I can honestly say I've made this at least 50 times for friends, family and just about anyone with a love for good steak. It's become my signature steak dish. At around the 30th time I revisited the video and sure enough, JP says "the stock is VERY important" and he's right. If you can make your own stock the improvement is phenomenal. I think it's mainly putting the tomato in the beef stock but it's certainly worth the time and effort to make a good fresh beef stock of your own for this. I do like a little dash of red wine in the sauce now, it gives the whole dish a real depth. I'd go into a rant about how JP changed my life during Covid because restaurants were closed so I learned to make my own good meals and well, when they re-opened I went back and realized that I'd been enjoying sub-par cooking and paying a premium for it. The joy of cooking is worth the effort. 3 years later I'm thinking of quitting my job as an engineer and opening my own, just because my food is so much better than what's out there, and it's all thanks to Chef JP. Truly a great teacher, but also a very good chef.
You should start by sharing your knowledge with us via videos. Compile all that knowledge and passion you have gained these past few years and give us some go to recipe's you have learned. Play around with flavors and make them your own, but don't go rushing out and opening a restaurant when you have only been going at it since covid hit. Restaurants are the biggest logistical nightmare ever and margins are paper thin. On the other hand, RUclips ads pay well, require 10000000000000th the investment of a restaurant and us, the viewers, get to see your food :)
I've been having the same thoughts. I'm an engineer and I've been cooking for a while now and I've ruined all my restaurants when it comes to brunches, steak, pastas and coffee. I do a truffled carbonara to die for. I sometimes add a few shrimps with the guanciale and it's just amazing! It actually became a restaurant rating system. A quick browsing through the menu and if I see cream in the carbonara I run out of there faster than a teenager to his gf's house when parents aren't home. I'm getting of track here, yeah, I too think of opening a restaurant...or at least a food truck...
I have a restaurant in a food desert, You can't find just anything at the grocery store and I can't order a case of leeks. My number one person said she wanted to try this...we ordered green peppercorns from Amazon and found leeks,...we absolutely knocked it out of the park. She watched the video and away we go. Our customers were delighted to have access to such delicious food. We have specials every weekend and this is the caliber of food we want to serve. Thank you so much for the new ideas we in the food desert appreciate you.
I love this. I love how Chef Jean-Pierre gives culinary advice, but then explains "why" explains the art and the science of what he is doing. Magnificent.
The best cooking show Ive seen in a very long time. Jean Pierre makes you want to cook and enjoy the process. Pure wisdom and love of food in this man. Protect him at all costs.
I've been watching cooking shows for over 40 years to try to learn how to cook. what my poor family has had to endure. had I found chef Pierre all those years ago I would be a good cook today no doubt. chef Pierre makes everything seem so understandable, explain so much. I've learned more in the past 24 hours I've been watching him then I have all those years watching everybody else including Julia child, Rachael Ray and all the rest of them out there. none of them holds a candle to chef Pierre's teachings. It's like when I was in the kitchen with my grandmother except this is my Grandpa Pierre what a treasure thank you chef. I almost died in the onion soup it was heavenly best thing I ever cooked. Again thank you thank you thank you chef Pierre. I can't wait to try new recipes
Not only that I and my wife get to learn from your cooking and dishes, I would say your voice and personality is a cannot-miss spirit and part of our house every night/dinner. I wish you health and joy and continue to put out these wonderful videos. We really feel like we are there in front of the counter and being part of the conversation with you. I personally love the jokes along the way!
Refreshing listening to a guy who clearly knows more about cooking than most will ever know but very easy going and shares his knowledge freely. Looks tasty!
"What am i talking about i'm not gonna flambe it" -2 seconds later- "Ok i'm gonna flambe it" This guy is absolutely incredible, both a great chef and great personality to watch
He’s such a character. I really like him. He’s not a cardboard cutout. He’s a unique individual who is so passionate about his food to the point of fervent, zealous evangelism. Wow. So inspiring.
“Margarine is one molecule away from plastic” 😂 love that line. Just discovered your RUclips channel and am looking forward to watching more videos. Thank you for inspiring me to get back into cooking.
That is a great line it's also true margarine was a by-product plastic manufacturer just as aspartame which is in Diet Coke and all sugar free items. They are chemicals our body doesn't understand and they are passed off as being healthy I think it's very wrong
I most certainly prefer butter, but chemically speaking, being one molecule away from something doesn't actually mean anything. Water is just one atom away from hydrogen peroxide, nitrogen (which is primarily what we breath) is one atom away from ammonia. Sodium chloride is part sodium, a metal that reacts violently with water, ingesting pure sodium would kill you gruesomely. It's also partially chloride, which was used in a gas form to kill soldiers in World War 1 - put them together and you get wonderful magical table salt :). We need water to live, but if you drank nothing but heavy water - an isotope of water this is still technically H2O - you will slowly replace the normal water in your body with deuterium oxide, and will die horribly :( I'll never personally use margarine and it could very well have other health concerns, but the "one away" danger thing is just an old myth.
@@mi5anthrope Interesting you mention deuterium, which is high in vegetable oils because of the way they're made, which is what margarine is made of. Animal fats on the other hand are quite low in deuterium, around 120ppm. Eat your butter/tallow/lard friends!
My wife told me that when she was in her early twenties and visiting Calais that she tried and loved steak au poivre. I had never heard of it, so I looked up a recipe online and tried to make it myself. I like to barbecue, so instead of pan frying the steak, I grilled it over an applewood fire. I had purchased green peppercorns on Amazon but they were dried, not in brine, so I hydrated mine in bourbon. It turned out great and more important, my wife loved it. Of course, grilling means no pan deglazing but there is a smoke element that emerges. Going to try Chef’s method next time.
Buy beef broth and add tomato paste, celery, carrots, leeks, and onyo and let it simmer. Chef I thank you!! The best tip I've ever gotten..... delicious. You are a gem 💕
I have a feeling this guy has actually put that sauce all over his body at least once. He is so awesome. Reminds me of working in a breakfast line and bakery years ago. Absolutely my most favorite job ever. You cook because you enjoy it! So great.
You have a unique way of talking that reminds me of my first accounting professor in college. He was from the old school and taught in a flurry of movements. Chalk dust flew all over the place. I wasn't very good at most subjects i took for engineering but once i had him i took off like a rocket. He made learning fun and thats what you are doing. The students you have at your cooking school are so very lucky. Thank you for bringing back memories of learning from a great teacher.
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! I so appreciate the opportunity to cook and share my 50 years’ experience in the kitchen!!! Thank you for taking the time to write a comment and for watching my channel!!! 😍😍😍
I wish I could upvote a video more than once. Jean-Pierre has taught me more about cooking than I think I'd have ever learned from anyone else. And boy, does this dish look fantastic. I'm going to make it!
@@Debilitator47 most of what you've said is true but it wasn't popular because it was a use for waste product, its more so because of shortages and inflation in the price of animal fats and butter. But yeah the absolute nonsense about margarine being healthier than butter is insane when you consider just how unhealthy we've come to discover hydrogenated oils especially trans fats happen to be, margarine from its very beginnings was just intended as a cheap substitute for butter lol, but clever marketing turned it into a """healthy alternative"""
Gotta have the real thing. Never was a fan of the fake stuff. Like fake sugars like, splenda, stevia, nutra sweet...yadda yadda. whats wrong with good old fashioned sugar? Too many chemicals in the other stuff
@@Mahlercougar the only artificial butter I like are the nut ones from the brand "nuttelex" all natural etc made from seeds and nuts yada yada but I still prefer butter any day lol
My musician wife spent time in New Orleans but didn't know about steak au poivre. She had to come to Canada to learn about it from me. We searched a while for a good recipe and found this winner! Tonight, for my 70th birthday, we are prepared to take another shot at it. This time with cracked pepper instead of full corns (we just found the link to the recipe after 3 prior attempts). Wish us luck. Thankfully, I don't have to sing for my supper.
I absolutely love watching you and sinking in everything. Learn't so much.. I was brought up with not being allowed around kitchen...had to go on my bike and come home before dark for tea. 3 plain over cook vegies and meat. So very eye opening to everything the way you explain and light hearted. Am 62 on my own enjoying you and your meals. Cooked peppered steak tonight for me... Thanks for giving me abit of Mojo back...and have cooked for alot of your delicious recipes now. XOXO
A dying man in hospital had requested our rosemary chicken. A family member picked it up, and we sent our best wishes along with it. Days later at the graveside, I asked if he had enjoyed the chicken, and they replied, "He thought it was a little tough." As long as you're living, you're learning! Thank you, Chef!
I hate myself for not finding this channel sooner. Since i discovered you yesterday I must have watched 30 of your videos already and I love them all. Everything is explained so nicely, you offer substitutes for ingredients and have reference videos for certain ingredients as well such as the potatoes in this recipe. Love the classic meals you prepare, so much of youtube is "junkfood" such as burgers, nachos, buffalo chicken etc, but sometimes you just want to eat like a king! Thank you my friend :)
I am back to leave my comments. The amount of knowledge I have gained watching your videos Chef, the amount of laughing I have done, ( not your cooking ) just your personality, keeps me interested in learning from your style of teaching. Great way to explain things and ingredients that the body likes ,,, the tongue appreciates and the no waste attitude, is key ... Well Done Chef. Plain and simply well done.
The first time I had this was in San Geronimo CA at a place called Two Birds. Tony made this in his tiny kitchen you could see from the table. I haven’t been there in more than 30 years, but I still remember the laughs, the smells, and the NY Strip pepper corn steak. You brought me right there again. Thank you!!
I've made this recipe 3 times, and all 3 times it's turned out incredible even with my own mistakes. The flambe is a spectacle, my son loves it and my wife thinks I'm gonna burn the apartment down. Although I use brandy instead of cognac because most of the time I'm broke as a joke. FYI, if you're gonna make this, splurge and get New York Strip, you won't regret it. Edit: Oh and butter, always butter, thanks to Chef Jean-Pierre that's what I always use now.
leaving the towel on the handle is KEY. I once absentmindedly grabbed a stainless steel sautee pan that i had just roasted a chicken in, and I burned most the skin off of my hand. It's healed now, but I learned a valuable lesson. Also I'm now a subscriber. Love your channel
Last night I made my family your Chicken Scaloppini Milanese. Tonight, your Steak au Poivre with green beans. They think I'm a genius! THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Cripes. how easy. Leave the towel on it. I've been burnt SOOOO many times forgetting the handle is hot. It's these types of tips that make these videos GOLD! I think the bowl of butter is quickly becoming MY emotional support!
I cook at home and keep my workspace so so clean at all times. I am not a chef. You are right that a good chef. But I think it comes from personal character of keeping your things and place tidy and clean.
Every second of this is a treasure. 3 minutes on the first side, put it in a 500-degree oven, and you're still only getting to 130-135? I never would have thought that was possible! Thanks for the tip! And thank you for preaching the good word of the forward sear. Reverse sears are the fad nowadays, and I absolutely can't stand it. And, finally, the margarine venting. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hello Chef, Made this today with boneless ribeye steaks. It was absolutely delicious! The sauce took a while to thicken, but it got there eventually. I followed your instructions as precisely as possible, and everyone loved it. Served with green beans as you suggested and roasted yellow potatoes with skin on. Thank you so much and I loved your comment on margarine..."your just one molecule away from acrylic"...just floored me! Thanks again and I believe you're one of the best.
This might sound random but they would love you in Hawaii. The vocal delivery, jokes, passion, but also easygoing and friendly delivery. You really did remind me of my friends parents growing up there. Great channel, thank you.
Thank you for all your incredible recipes, positive and often hilarious (yet always educational) delivery, and fantastic videos! I particularly loved the "you like eating plastic, go ahead with margarine, I'll eat my butter" too true!
He reminds me of the chef who got me into culinary when I was in high school. Chef Powless is exactly as passionate as Chef Jean-Pierre. Thank you for this amazing video. ❤
Late did I develop the love of cooking and good food. So much I have learned from Chef Jean-Pierre from his recipes and even his recommended cookware I would need in the kitchen. He explained how to choose and why I would choose them. Thank you very much Chef Jean-Pierre.
@@gngrphyr While margarine is made mostly of the same basic block as butter is (tryglycerides), there's a whole lot of milk solids that really work together to make butter's flavor profile that aren't there at all on margarine, so it's understandable that some people would prefer butter. Margarine is a functional, perhaps even good, replacement in many places, but other places the butter will just work better.
My father was just like him. My father graduated from Emporia, Ks.; moved to Topeka. Went to meat cutting school and worked in a butcher shop when I was just a newborn (1971) I had steak and king crab legs by the time I was in kindergarden school (A.J. Stout). My father would make this and London broil from time to time. He worked as director of food service for many hospitals and also helped open a resturant called U 'R Cooks back in the 80's (he deigned the menu, layout, forks, table cloths, cuts of meat, basicly everything). I cook cause it makes me happy and to feed my friends to make it through another day. I just wish I had a house and a kitchen big enough to do it all. Again as always, bless you Chef. When you pass to the great kitchen in the sky, you will be there with my father cooking for the masses. See you there.
I like this chef's character. Some French chef's are difficult to understand, but not this one. You can tell he wants to make something that tastes good.
Omg my wife did this recipe with pork chops and look look look this guy guy knows what he talking about ! Never had green peppercorns folks but they are amazing ! The sauce takes more time than the whole meal but unbelievable! Rock on Mon Ami ! Cognac and butter is a must ! Lol enjoy !
I've made this so many times over the summer now, it's become one of my favorite things to to in the kitchen. I've also fallen so in love with the au poivre sauce that I've modified it a bit to use as a secret burger condiment (I use fewer green peppercorns for this and give it time to thicken a bit), and everyone who has tried it has been absolutely blown away by it. I'd go as far to say it'll probably be a strong memory of the summer of 2021 for me. Thank you so much for this one, it really worked its way into our core recipe collection quickly.
I'm glad you relaunched the RUclips channel I found this channel last year I'm happy with 1 video a week chef quality over quantity I can see you love what you do even after all these years keep up the good work you have a fan for life
Ive been making my own version of Steak au Poivre for years, I really enjoy it! For my birthday yesterday, I decided to do a "Jean-Pierre" but still my style version of steak au poivre. I don't have homemade beef stock so I added a little tomato puree, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, thyme and some whole peppercorn to some beef broth and let it "bloop bloop" for an hour. Sous Vide a Ribeye for 2 hours at 133F and seared for a minute and half per side in fresh bacon grease (ill add the bacon at the end). Took them out to rest, added a little avocado oil and threw in some shallots for a minute or two and added some fresh chopped garlic until fragrant. Deglazed with a couple ounces of Bourbon (not a fan of Cognac), added some of my fortified beef broth, added cream to color. Mixed well and reduced a little, added more peppercorn, fresh rosemary, bacon, rested steak juices and finally added the butter to finish. Was told I could sell that at a steak house for $60 easily! Thanks JP for upping my game!
Tu es un super pro ! On apprends vraiment des choses en te regardant... tu ne nous explique pas juste comment faire mais aussi pourquoi tu fais ces choses comme les fun facts sur le beurre ou alors sur le fait qu il ne faut pas retourner la viande tout de suite sinon elle colle à cause des proteines qui ne sont pas assez cuites ! Merci pour cette vidéo.
Steak Au Poivre is one of the best meals ever, thank you Jean Pierre for a perfect recipe. I just made it for dinner tonight and we are all purring like kittens.
Thank you so much for all you do! I actually am a better cook today because of you! America is blessed to have you as a citizen! May you live a long life and never stop learning and sharing! Todd
My wife and I are genuinely excited to see a new Chef Jean-Pierre video every week! We appreciate the very positive message at the start of this video, and also how in your more current (2022) videos you empathize with the viewers regarding the cost of food. We've tried a few things we saw you do, and they usually turn out improving our cooking! Thanks, Chef JP!!!
Hey ben mon vieux, tu me mets l'eau à la bouche à chaque fois, mais là c'est le summum. J'en bave sur mon clavier! Tes recettes me donnent vraiment le goût de me mettre à la popotte! Un gros merci pour ta passion, ta verve, et tes fantastiques recettes! Salutations du Québec!
Weaver Games congrats! Sadly diets don’t work very well long term. Consider using the strategy of eating mostly vegetables, and small servings of meat for maintenance. It’s a strategy that works well for me. Best of luck to you. It’s hard to adjust your diet permanently but that works the best.
@@ytreece Oh fair enough. Yeah I've made long term and permanent adjustments to my eating habits. i'm just trying to get this last bit of stubborn weight gone right now through strict caloric control and intense exercise.
I worked as a Sous Chef and Working Chef back in the 80's, this was as good as it got back then. I have noticed cuisine and techniques have advanced and changed in this new day and age but the classics never go out of style. This dish still remains my favorite and this Gentleman is The example on how to accomplish it for those that don't know how to make such a delish dish. The only difference you can make in this recipe is adding a spoon of Dijon during the flambe step to the brandy and that is a wonderful twist as well. Thank you Jean Pierre for such a nice series of videos and very well explained for all of us.
The commentary was top notch. I laughed so many times. When he said margarine is a molecule away from acrylic...the sauce is good all over the body...and when he told the flame "thats enough" LOL Too good. Subscribed !
I've been making this sauce for years, because it's that good. So good that my ex partner would just pour it on the plate to eat after finishing the steak. I did have a laugh when you said "if your guests want more". Every single one will😆 It's actually a kid friendly sauce when you use green, rather than just black, peppercorns. My daughter (7yo) loves it.
@@Pasrich His unvarnished enthusiasm for something he's made literally thousands of times really is something special, this man loves to cook and it shows.
Merci, Chef. Un très grand ami, chef lui aussi, me préparé dans le temps un steak poivre du tonnerre. L'exécution de ce beau repas fut un régal pour les yeux , et ce vieux cœur.
I want to think of him as my culinary dad! If I could choose a mentor it would be great to learn from him. I love his videos cause they are fun, educational but more importantly, they are effective!
This man knows what he is doing in a kitchen. He knows the tricks that let you bypass some of the more expensive ingredients while still making it taste great.
I've never cooked with cognac before. However, after seeing this, I'll be picking up a bottle tomorrow and giving this recipe a try. Got a beautiful Australian Wagyu BMS#9 Strip that will be amazing with this recipe. Thank you for another amazing dish Chef!
I’m in love with the accent- it’s like a combination of Jacques Pépin, Gilbert Gottfried, Bugs Bunny, and Fat Tony (the Italian mobster from The Simpsons)!
You make my mouth watering all over the place... Last time I had a teacher so involved and so enthusiastic about his subject was about 30 years ago, in the university with Prof. Mario Lybio teaching astrophysics... and as you see Chef - one does not forget these moments. Thanks for the recipe, and the soul you have put in it, and the zillion and one things you taught here around this classic dish.
I think I am about this guy's age and I started cooking professionally when I was in my late teens; around 1980 - this means I can relate absolutely to what Jean-Pierre is doing and saying - this is as good as it gets!! Take this guy seriously - I most certainly do...!
Thank you for the kinds worlds Michael! 😍😍😍
@@ChefJeanPierre you remind me of Chef Tell from the 80,s.
Yes seeing a chefs age some times in their food is interesting but I’m young guy and hardly going to question the methods before attempting my self
@@williammarik6159
Il est beaucoup plus raffiné que le "Chef Tell" des années '80!
I was a saute chef back in the 80 too and I made this all the time. I knew it was good when the other chefs would ask me to make it for their dinner... quality brown stock and use the peppercorn brine...awesome
The passion is infectious. I could watch him cook all day.
Thank you 🙏
I do while I’m drinking
I've just watched him for two hours lol
Be great to sample his produce, and the wine of course.
I just discovered him and I've been watching and learning for days! My kitchen doesn't even rate as subpar and I'd be embarrassed to do such fine cooking in it.

@@no0bbbb thank you for your service soldier
you don't eat margarine too?
@@no0bbbb Oh yes, he is :-). Only very slightly toned down, yet very professional.
And a fantastic chef. God Bless
@@matejrovis5525 definitely noooo its basically chemicals... traditional butter always... healthier too!
Not a single swear word in this whole video , just Great humor , tremendous positive energy and some Grade A cuisine right there .
Well spotted - that is exactly right.
...and all the better for it, in my opinion. Chef Jean-Pierre encourages and inspires. He's my kind of chef. :) :) :)
It makes for good TV, but I have never been in a professional kitchen that the -pirates- cooks did not swear like sailors ha ha 😎
@@TitoTimTravels I fear that in some circumstances, it's the sailors who swear like chefs....
Yep. When a Gordon Ramsey wannabe starts with the swearing, I start changing the video.

I like that he doesn’t do quick cuts in his videos to make it shorter. This makes it so much easier to follow along.
Yes!

yes and yet the video is under 20 minutes! this guy knows what to do

Awe yea baby. Luk at dat sorce
Reminds me of New Orleans accents but that makes sense.
Chef has the perfect combination of cooking skills and personality. Always entertaining!
Not only that I and my wife get to learn from your cooking and dishes, I would say your voice and personality is a cannot-miss spirit and part of our house every night/dinner.

"What am i talking about i'm not gonna flambe it"
-2 seconds later-
"Ok i'm gonna flambe it"
This guy is absolutely incredible, both a great chef and great personality to watch
👍
puts like 8 green beans on plate...." put 2 or 3 on plate"
O no no ..I'm not flambe at my kitchen house..just the idea to explosion of bottle with alcohol koniack it is ..
And he did it very well.
Then he drowned it in cognac and acted surprised when the fire wouldn't die down.
I watch many videos of this kind, but, ChefJean-Pierre's presentations are always superb compared to others, it's a cooking school for free.
I love this guy, literally said out loud all the problems I've experienced when cooking a steak and gave a solution.
Prepared this last night with Brandy instead of Cognac. Added a little bit of shallot to the sauce. It worked for me! Amazing! Keep 'em coming Chef!
He’s such a character. I really like him. He’s not a cardboard cutout. He’s a unique individual who is so passionate about his food to the point of fervent, zealous evangelism. Wow. So inspiring.

“Margarine is one molecule away from plastic” 😂 love that line. Just discovered your RUclips channel and am looking forward to watching more videos. Thank you for inspiring me to get back into cooking.

That is a great line it's also true margarine was a by-product plastic manufacturer just as aspartame which is in Diet Coke and all sugar free items. They are chemicals our body doesn't understand and they are passed off as being healthy I think it's very wrong
Even the guy in the background smiled at that one
I most certainly prefer butter, but chemically speaking, being one molecule away from something doesn't actually mean anything. Water is just one atom away from hydrogen peroxide, nitrogen (which is primarily what we breath) is one atom away from ammonia. Sodium chloride is part sodium, a metal that reacts violently with water, ingesting pure sodium would kill you gruesomely. It's also partially chloride, which was used in a gas form to kill soldiers in World War 1 - put them together and you get wonderful magical table salt :). We need water to live, but if you drank nothing but heavy water - an isotope of water this is still technically H2O - you will slowly replace the normal water in your body with deuterium oxide, and will die horribly :( I'll never personally use margarine and it could very well have other health concerns, but the "one away" danger thing is just an old myth.
@@mi5anthrope Interesting you mention deuterium, which is high in vegetable oils because of the way they're made, which is what margarine is made of. Animal fats on the other hand are quite low in deuterium, around 120ppm. Eat your butter/tallow/lard friends!
This dude maybe my favorite chef of all time. It's pure happiness
Love this guy's chaotically wholesome energy.
My wife told me that when she was in her early twenties and visiting Calais that she tried and loved steak au poivre. I had never heard of it, so I looked up a recipe online and tried to make it myself. I like to barbecue, so instead of pan frying the steak, I grilled it over an applewood fire. I had purchased green peppercorns on Amazon but they were dried, not in brine, so I hydrated mine in bourbon. It turned out great and more important, my wife loved it. Of course, grilling means no pan deglazing but there is a smoke element that emerges.
Going to try Chef’s method next time.
Buy beef broth and add tomato paste, celery, carrots, leeks, and onyo and let it simmer.
Chef I thank you!! The best tip I've ever gotten..... delicious.
You are a gem 💕
I have a feeling this guy has actually put that sauce all over his body at least once. He is so awesome. Reminds me of working in a breakfast line and bakery years ago. Absolutely my most favorite job ever. You cook because you enjoy it! So great.
what xd

I swear he was convincing. Luke warm. The texture in the peppercorn and the creamy buttery sauce. Hmmm hmmmmmm
Such a wholesome cooking video. Chefs don't make nothing like this anymore. All heavily edited and cut. This is so good
You have a unique way of talking that reminds me of my first accounting professor in college. He was from the old school and taught in a flurry of movements. Chalk dust flew all over the place. I wasn't very good at most subjects i took for engineering but once i had him i took off like a rocket. He made learning fun and thats what you are doing. The students you have at your cooking school are so very lucky. Thank you for bringing back memories of learning from a great teacher.
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! I so appreciate the opportunity to cook and share my 50 years’ experience in the kitchen!!! Thank you for taking the time to write a comment and for watching my channel!!! 😍😍😍
@@ChefJeanPierre It is my pleasure to watch you teach
I wish I could upvote a video more than once. Jean-Pierre has taught me more about cooking than I think I'd have ever learned from anyone else. And boy, does this dish look fantastic. I'm going to make it!
This man's disrespect for margarine is inspiring..
One molecule away from plastic!! So true.
I think he means butter. Not marg
Actually he likes butter a lot, but not for pan frying since it burns. He never uses margarine in any of the recipes I've seen.
@@Debilitator47 most of what you've said is true but it wasn't popular because it was a use for waste product, its more so because of shortages and inflation in the price of animal fats and butter. But yeah the absolute nonsense about margarine being healthier than butter is insane when you consider just how unhealthy we've come to discover hydrogenated oils especially trans fats happen to be, margarine from its very beginnings was just intended as a cheap substitute for butter lol, but clever marketing turned it into a """healthy alternative"""
And he'll have some respect for clogged arteries.
"Margarine is a molecule away from acrylic." LOLOLOL The best I've ever heard it, Chef!!
It's so true, lolol. Bugs won't even eat that stuff.
Gotta have the real thing. Never was a fan of the fake stuff.
Like fake sugars like, splenda, stevia, nutra sweet...yadda yadda. whats wrong with good old fashioned sugar?
Too many chemicals in the other stuff
@@Mahlercougar Stevia does come from a plant,Stevia rebaudiana, you just put a leaf in your tea or coffee.
true story... lol
@@Mahlercougar the only artificial butter I like are the nut ones from the brand "nuttelex" all natural etc made from seeds and nuts yada yada but I still prefer butter any day lol
My musician wife spent time in New Orleans but didn't know about steak au poivre. She had to come to Canada to learn about it from me. We searched a while for a good recipe and found this winner! Tonight, for my 70th birthday, we are prepared to take another shot at it. This time with cracked pepper instead of full corns (we just found the link to the recipe after 3 prior attempts). Wish us luck. Thankfully, I don't have to sing for my supper.
I absolutely love watching you and sinking in everything. Learn't so much.. I was brought up with not being allowed around kitchen...had to go on my bike and come home before dark for tea. 3 plain over cook vegies and meat. So very eye opening to everything the way you explain and light hearted. Am 62 on my own enjoying you and your meals. Cooked peppered steak tonight for me... Thanks for giving me abit of Mojo back...and have cooked for alot of your delicious recipes now. XOXO
9:45 - Really glad to have you back, Chef JeanPierre! You’re the BEST. 👍
A dying man in hospital had requested our rosemary chicken. A family member picked it up, and we sent our best wishes along with it. Days later at the graveside, I asked if he had enjoyed the chicken, and they replied, "He thought it was a little tough." As long as you're living, you're learning! Thank you, Chef!
The amount of energy you emit is just pure charming. Thank you chef.
I hate myself for not finding this channel sooner. Since i discovered you yesterday I must have watched 30 of your videos already and I love them all. Everything is explained so nicely, you offer substitutes for ingredients and have reference videos for certain ingredients as well such as the potatoes in this recipe. Love the classic meals you prepare, so much of youtube is "junkfood" such as burgers, nachos, buffalo chicken etc, but sometimes you just want to eat like a king! Thank you my friend :)
Best chef in the world can’t stop watch listen and learn from him
On top of it he is entertaining
Please don’t stop
I rubbed the sauce all over my body.
He was right. It was amazing.
😂😂😂😍
I did it as well. my credit score immediately jumped 100 points and I no longer need to wear corrective lenses. best sauce ever.

@@godtroll749 nah. people are just lazy.(ex: your comment) more effort next time and maybe you won't see me.
@@godtroll749 *too* or even just use the phrase "as well". for a god tier troll your intelligence is lacking.
I am back to leave my comments. The amount of knowledge I have gained watching your videos Chef, the amount of laughing I have done, ( not your cooking ) just your personality, keeps me interested in learning from your style of teaching. Great way to explain things and ingredients that the body likes ,,, the tongue appreciates and the no waste attitude, is key ...
Well Done Chef. Plain and simply well done.
The first time I had this was in San Geronimo CA at a place called Two Birds. Tony made this in his tiny kitchen you could see from the table. I haven’t been there in more than 30 years, but I still remember the laughs, the smells, and the NY Strip pepper corn steak. You brought me right there again. Thank you!!
We are So lucky to have Chef Jean Pierre teaching us on RUclips what a treat he is the best
I've made this recipe 3 times, and all 3 times it's turned out incredible even with my own mistakes. The flambe is a spectacle, my son loves it and my wife thinks I'm gonna burn the apartment down. Although I use brandy instead of cognac because most of the time I'm broke as a joke. FYI, if you're gonna make this, splurge and get New York Strip, you won't regret it.
Edit: Oh and butter, always butter, thanks to Chef Jean-Pierre that's what I always use now.
@J Kirk I do it with tenderloin. Always a hit :-)! God Bless
"my son loves it and my wife thinks I'm gonna burn the apartment down"
That's the best part of it. 😄
leaving the towel on the handle is KEY. I once absentmindedly grabbed a stainless steel sautee pan that i had just roasted a chicken in, and I burned most the skin off of my hand. It's healed now, but I learned a valuable lesson. Also I'm now a subscriber. Love your channel
Last night I made my family your Chicken Scaloppini Milanese. Tonight, your Steak au Poivre with green beans. They think I'm a genius! THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Cripes. how easy. Leave the towel on it. I've been burnt SOOOO many times forgetting the handle is hot. It's these types of tips that make these videos GOLD! I think the bowl of butter is quickly becoming MY emotional support!
I know the man is an experienced chef when he cleans his work environment whenever he can
I cook at home and keep my workspace so so clean at all times. I am not a chef. You are right that a good chef. But I think it comes from personal character of keeping your things and place tidy and clean.
Someone with good personal standards.
Every second of this is a treasure.
3 minutes on the first side, put it in a 500-degree oven, and you're still only getting to 130-135? I never would have thought that was possible! Thanks for the tip!
And thank you for preaching the good word of the forward sear. Reverse sears are the fad nowadays, and I absolutely can't stand it.
And, finally, the margarine venting. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great comment 😀! Yes for sure 3 to 5 minutes for 1 to 1 1/4 " thick no problem to 130-135! Be sure to let us know how you did when you do! 😀❤
Green peppercorns on the way. Great selection on your web site, by the way.
is it Fahrenheit or Celsius?
@@GreenAve Ha, hopefully Fahrenheit.
@@GreenAve I mean, the melting point of lead is 327 degrees celsius, so I´m just assuming it´s fahrenheit
Hello Chef,
Made this today with boneless ribeye steaks. It was absolutely delicious! The sauce took a while to thicken, but it got there eventually. I followed your instructions as precisely as possible, and everyone loved it. Served with green beans as you suggested and roasted yellow potatoes with skin on. Thank you so much and I loved your comment on margarine..."your just one molecule away from acrylic"...just floored me!
Thanks again and I believe you're one of the best.
This might sound random but they would love you in Hawaii. The vocal delivery, jokes, passion, but also easygoing and friendly delivery. You really did remind me of my friends parents growing up there. Great channel, thank you.
Thank you for all your incredible recipes, positive and often hilarious (yet always educational) delivery, and fantastic videos! I particularly loved the "you like eating plastic, go ahead with margarine, I'll eat my butter" too true!
"Don't touch it, don't play with it." Words to live by...
He reminds me of the chef who got me into culinary when I was in high school. Chef Powless is exactly as passionate as Chef Jean-Pierre. Thank you for this amazing video. ❤
Late did I develop the love of cooking and good food. So much I have learned from Chef Jean-Pierre from his recipes and even his recommended cookware I would need in the kitchen. He explained how to choose and why I would choose them. Thank you very much Chef Jean-Pierre.
Your presentation is beyond reproach, I've enjoyed your cooking videos more than the many I have watched over the last few years
"Margarine is one molecule from plastic, you want margarine? Eat your margarine I'll eat my butter, thank you very much!" This guy is fckng awesome!
It turns out it's a myth. But most people still don't like margarine
🙌🏼
Velveeta is also 1 molecule from plastic. Most chefs and most chemist wont eat it
@@gngrphyr While margarine is made mostly of the same basic block as butter is (tryglycerides), there's a whole lot of milk solids that really work together to make butter's flavor profile that aren't there at all on margarine, so it's understandable that some people would prefer butter. Margarine is a functional, perhaps even good, replacement in many places, but other places the butter will just work better.
@@henriquepacheco7473 I get that, but my point is about the comparison of margarine to plastic being a myth
My father was just like him. My father graduated from Emporia, Ks.; moved to Topeka. Went to meat cutting school and worked in a butcher shop when I was just a newborn (1971)
I had steak and king crab legs by the time I was in kindergarden school (A.J. Stout). My father would make this and London broil from time to time. He worked as director of food service for many hospitals and also helped open a resturant called U 'R Cooks back in the 80's (he deigned the menu, layout, forks, table cloths, cuts of meat, basicly everything). I cook cause it makes me happy and to feed my friends to make it through another day. I just wish I had a house and a kitchen big enough to do it all. Again as always, bless you Chef. When you pass to the great kitchen in the sky, you will be there with my father cooking for the masses. See you there.
👍👍👍❤️
This man is family. You are not just a friend you are family !!!!
🙏🙏🙏💗
17:40 "There's a cool thing about cooking. You do it because it makes you happy, and it's delicious"
I like this chef's character. Some French chef's are difficult to understand, but not this one. You can tell he wants to make something that tastes good.
Omg my wife did this recipe with pork chops and look look look this guy guy knows what he talking about ! Never had green peppercorns folks but they are amazing ! The sauce takes more time than the whole meal but unbelievable! Rock on Mon Ami ! Cognac and butter is a must ! Lol enjoy !
I've made this so many times over the summer now, it's become one of my favorite things to to in the kitchen.
I've also fallen so in love with the au poivre sauce that I've modified it a bit to use as a secret burger condiment (I use fewer green peppercorns for this and give it time to thicken a bit), and everyone who has tried it has been absolutely blown away by it. I'd go as far to say it'll probably be a strong memory of the summer of 2021 for me.
Thank you so much for this one, it really worked its way into our core recipe collection quickly.
She liked it that much, huh?
ok, now i wanna know more.....whats the secret condiment and whats the technique?
"I replace salt water with Cognac"
Sounds biblical ..
👍😂
Check the Cognac Bill every Month
Gotta love this guy and his attitude. You can tell he’s doing what he absolutely loves :)
Easily my favorite Cooking RUclips Channel. Expertise. Experience. Attitude. The Food.
You are a treasure to this world, Chef. Thank you.
Merci Chef. I'm 65 and still learning. I was using butter for my steaks. Your recipes are amazing. Merci encore :-)
He is so fun to watch. Love his passion for cooking. Awesome sense of humor.
I'm glad you relaunched the RUclips channel I found this channel last year I'm happy with 1 video a week chef quality over quantity I can see you love what you do even after all these years keep up the good work you have a fan for life
Ive been making my own version of Steak au Poivre for years, I really enjoy it! For my birthday yesterday, I decided to do a "Jean-Pierre" but still my style version of steak au poivre. I don't have homemade beef stock so I added a little tomato puree, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, thyme and some whole peppercorn to some beef broth and let it "bloop bloop" for an hour. Sous Vide a Ribeye for 2 hours at 133F and seared for a minute and half per side in fresh bacon grease (ill add the bacon at the end). Took them out to rest, added a little avocado oil and threw in some shallots for a minute or two and added some fresh chopped garlic until fragrant. Deglazed with a couple ounces of Bourbon (not a fan of Cognac), added some of my fortified beef broth, added cream to color. Mixed well and reduced a little, added more peppercorn, fresh rosemary, bacon, rested steak juices and finally added the butter to finish. Was told I could sell that at a steak house for $60 easily! Thanks JP for upping my game!
Awesome thanks for sharing 😊
Bourbon? Lol.. Cognac is made from a much more delicate raw material. Yet some people drink Scotch with ginger ale. To each his own! :)
That is the best steak au poivre video I have ever seen. Congratulations chef Jean-Pierre. You've nailed it.
Thank you! 😀
I love this guy! The passion and skills are over the top here...such an inspiration!!
Who downvoted this? Looks amazing and this guy is pure entertainment. Just found my new favorite youtube channel
Tu es un super pro ! On apprends vraiment des choses en te regardant... tu ne nous explique pas juste comment faire mais aussi pourquoi tu fais ces choses comme les fun facts sur le beurre ou alors sur le fait qu il ne faut pas retourner la viande tout de suite sinon elle colle à cause des proteines qui ne sont pas assez cuites ! Merci pour cette vidéo.
I made this tonight and didn't have a good stock prepared, but that sauce still blew me away! Going to try this again within the week lol
Steak Au Poivre is one of the best meals ever, thank you Jean Pierre for a perfect recipe. I just made it for dinner tonight and we are all purring like kittens.

Diets don’t work
@@YoMama9021 I've lost 35 pounds so far
I know right
Weaver Games congrats! Sadly diets don’t work very well long term. Consider using the strategy of eating mostly vegetables, and small servings of meat for maintenance. It’s a strategy that works well for me. Best of luck to you. It’s hard to adjust your diet permanently but that works the best.
@@ytreece Oh fair enough. Yeah I've made long term and permanent adjustments to my eating habits. i'm just trying to get this last bit of stubborn weight gone right now through strict caloric control and intense exercise.
I worked as a Sous Chef and Working Chef back in the 80's, this was as good as it got back then. I have noticed cuisine and techniques have advanced and changed in this new day and age but the classics never go out of style. This dish still remains my favorite and this Gentleman is The example on how to accomplish it for those that don't know how to make such a delish dish. The only difference you can make in this recipe is adding a spoon of Dijon during the flambe step to the brandy and that is a wonderful twist as well. Thank you Jean Pierre for such a nice series of videos and very well explained for all of us.

The commentary was top notch. I laughed so many times. When he said margarine is a molecule away from acrylic...the sauce is good all over the body...and when he told the flame "thats enough" LOL
Too good. Subscribed !
I've been making this sauce for years, because it's that good. So good that my ex partner would just pour it on the plate to eat after finishing the steak. I did have a laugh when you said "if your guests want more". Every single one will😆
It's actually a kid friendly sauce when you use green, rather than just black, peppercorns. My daughter (7yo) loves it.
They all eat and want more sauce . It is short lived, and no wonder.
That would traditionally be steak Madegascar

🙏🙏🙏👍😊
This man knows what he is doing in a kitchen. He knows the tricks that let you bypass some of the more expensive ingredients while still making it taste great.
I've never cooked with cognac before. However, after seeing this, I'll be picking up a bottle tomorrow and giving this recipe a try. Got a beautiful Australian Wagyu BMS#9 Strip that will be amazing with this recipe. Thank you for another amazing dish Chef!
I’m in love with the accent- it’s like a combination of Jacques Pépin, Gilbert Gottfried, Bugs Bunny, and Fat Tony (the Italian mobster from The Simpsons)!
You make my mouth watering all over the place... Last time I had a teacher so involved and so enthusiastic about his subject was about 30 years ago, in the university with Prof. Mario Lybio teaching astrophysics... and as you see Chef - one does not forget these moments. Thanks for the recipe, and the soul you have put in it, and the zillion and one things you taught here around this classic dish.
The only thing I would've done different is sear the sides of the steak. Beautiful French recipe by a great chef!
