How do you like your steak?

I like mine done classically with a pepper sauce or au poivre.

Full of spicy luxury and absolutely delicious.

I'm Mark Mariarty, I'm a chef based in Ireland and this is the Secrets of Sauces with Fine Dining Lovers.

One of the secrets of a really good pepper sauce with steak is the quality of the steak.

If you have a look here,

I'm using a rib eye.

One of my favorite cuts and it's got a lovely marbling of fat.

What will happen is as that fat melts and renders,

with the juices from the steak,

it's going to add all that beautiful beef flavor to the finished pepper sauce.

First thing we need to do,

season it and get it on the pan.

Got a nice salt crust on the steak.

Not going to add pepper at this point,

so I don't want it to go bitter and burn.

We're going to get a hot pan, steak straight in.

The key once the steak is in there is to not touch it,

let it get a nice golden brown crust.

The more colour we get on here now,

the better the flavour of the sauce at the very end.

Once the steak is in,

just season the other side.

I just checked now, you can see there you've got a lovely golden brown colour on the steak.

That's the point we can turn it over.

As I said, the more colour we get on the steak now,

the better the flavour of the final sauce.

Now while I'm using ribeye here,

this process will still work with any type of beef.

So that's been cooking there for about 3 minutes on each side,

so it's ready to go.

I'm going to get a resting tray, bake it straight off.

The steak like that needs to rest for about 10 minutes,

which is a perfect time to make our sauce,

but keep this because all the juice

and fat that's going to melt out of this steak is going to be key

and the real secret of the great pepper sauce.

Now the oil that's left in this pan has been cooked out and it's quite burnt.

If we add that to our sauce it's gonna be really bitter so we get rid of that.

But we keep the base of the pan,

a lot of that juice that's in there,

put it back on our heat and we're gonna start building the sauce in the pan.

The secret to a really good pepper sauce is good freshly ground black pepper.

The reason it's freshly ground is we're going to get all the aromats and spice out of it.

That goes straight into our dry pan.

Adding about one tablespoon of the pepper.

Remember we can always add, we can't take away.

Then to just start cooking out all the oils in that pepper,

we're going to add a few knobs of butter.

Basically what we're making here is a kind of pepper butter.

We want the butter to go slightly brown as well.

gives a lovely nutty flavour,

another secret to a great sauce.

So our butter and our pepper has gone lovely and brown,

here's another secret to a great sauce.

Be careful, it will flambe,

we're gonna add a good measure of cognac.

Try that at home.

So you get beautiful floral flavours off that cognac,

And it will reduce really, really quickly.

That alcohol is completely burnt off.

And you'll see there, it almost comes to a glaze.

That's exactly what we're after with the butter,

the pepper and the cognac.

This pan is now packed with flavour.

You can smell it here.

It's got nuttiness from the butter.

It's got a lovely sweetness from the cognac and the spice of the pepper.

But now we need to add our liquid to make our sauce.

The first of which is beef stock.

So to add a real body to this sauce,

another secret, we're going to add just beef stock.

You can get it in any supermarket and you can make it yourself.

We're going in there with about 300 mils.

That's where another bulk of flavour in this sauce is going to come from.

Once it's in there, I turn the heat up and we let it reduce.

That's where the liquid evaporates,

the flavour concentrates, and we'll go back to this when about two-thirds of it is gone.

Now the liquid from that beef stock is reduced by about two thirds, three quarters.

Concentrated in flavour.

Next we're going to add in here is a little bit of cream,

just to add that touch of luxury.

Another secret of a great pepper sauce.

I'm going to add the same amount of cream as I did beef stock in there.

Again, over a high heat,

let it come up to the boil,

reduce down, concentrate in flavour.

You can see here the sauce has reduced down,

it's thickened, it's got a lovely glaze and shine full of flavour at this point.

I'm just going to take it off the heat,

we're going to add a few little touches at the end,

this is the key secret to bring the sauce from good to great.

After which, we're going to go in with a little bit of creme fraiche.

This does is it adds that sourness and tartness to the sauce.

Not too much.

And after that, just a few knobs of butter.

Again, we're bringing richness to the sauce.

And that cognac we used at the start,

kept a tiny bit back.

100

We're going to add it in here,

101

just to bring that roundness at the end.

102

Then some lemon juice.

103

Lemon juice is a key secret to any great sauce.

104

It's that addition of a little bit of acid,

105

a little bit of salt and pepper at the end that makes it really, really delicious.

106

As you bring it together,

107

you'll see it's starting to lighten in colour.

108

The butter will bring a lovely shine.

109

lemon juice as well.

110

Just make it really, really delicious.

111

Happy with the seasoning on that.

112

All the stuff to do is get the steak back into the pan with all that beautiful juice that's come out.

113

And it's adding that resting juice and beef fat that is the real secret to this pepper salt.

114

Full of richness, really luxurious and that's something I'd order on a menu.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
