There are many types (varieties) of sauces containing a very significant amount of herbs. Green sauce, you can perfectly cook stew in it - a dish of meat with herbs.

So, for example, Italian or Mexican Salsa verde, French Sauce verte, German Grüne Soße or Frankfurter Grie Soß, guacamole.

The main ingredients of green sauce are herbs. This does not mean lawn grasses, and not the “grass” beloved by part of the population. And spicy herbs - dill, parsley, cilantro, basil, oregano, marjoram, savory, etc.

It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, the Romans brought a recipe for green herb sauce from the Middle East to Europe. It's not what some people think. Green sauces are also characteristic of Latin American cuisines. The famous guacamole, whose green color comes from avocado and herbs. An excellent addition to meat and poultry, as well as with corn chips(nachos) and beer.

I noticed that the components of green sauce vary greatly depending on the area and the availability of products. Often the classic set of herbs is replaced or supplemented. For example, in the Caucasus, there are many local sauces, including green ones. There are also excellent stews in a green sauce made from local herbs.

Traditionally creamy sauces Prepare for tender, lean steaks (such as filet mignon or beef medallions). These steaks come from the most tender part of the carcass - the tenderloin, which runs along the spine. This muscle is practically not involved in movement during the life of the animal, therefore they are famous for their tender meat and very delicate taste. Beef in green pepper sauce V classic recipe involves cooking filet mignon steak, which is served with a thick and rich pepper and cream sauce. You can cook a classic Ribeye or grilled one.

So, to prepare this dish according to the classic recipe, you will need filet mignon. Please note that the minimum thickness of such a steak should be from 3 to 5 cm. Otherwise, the meat will turn out a little dry.

Heat a thick-bottomed frying pan (preferably cast iron) well and melt a slice of butter in it. Pour in a spoon olive oil and add filet mignon. Don't forget to salt and pepper it first. Fry the meat on both sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Our advice: to marbled beef fried better and more evenly in green pepper sauce; 30-40 minutes before cooking, the meat should be removed from the packaging and heated to room temperature.

Now add the green peppercorns to the pan. Stir it constantly so that it browns evenly on all sides without burning. Once the peppers are slightly fried, pour a couple of tablespoons of cognac into the pan and set it on fire. As soon as the fire goes out, the alcohol has evaporated, you can add cream. It is better if they are fatty and always heated to room temperature. This is important! As you continue to sear the steak in the pan, you need to maintain the same temperature on the working surface of the pan. Cold cream poured into the pan will sharply reduce its temperature, which will not have the best effect on the quality of the cooked meat.

When you add the cream, stir all the ingredients and reduce the heat. Cook the sauce until it thickens, remembering to stir it constantly.

Beef in green pepper sauce is served immediately. Steak cooked this way turns out very juicy and tender. It does not need to be cooked in the oven to the desired degree of doneness, as is often done with thick steaks.

You can cook others using this recipe. This sauce goes well with ribeye, striploin and sirloin steak, as well as flank steak or hanger steak. In a word, go for it!

Advice from T-Bone: if lean and tender steaks are recommended to be served with a gentle, creamy sauce, then steaks with good marbling are served with a sauce with more bright taste. For example, Tomahawk or Porterhouse steaks go well with Jack Daniel's whiskey sauce, and alternative steaks like skirt steak or flank steak go well with sauces based on garlic and fresh herbs (basil, oregano, marjoram and thyme).
