Steak au poivre 黑椒牛排

Ingredients

• 4 x 200g fillet steak (for two people) 4块200克左右的牛排（两个人的分量）
  2 tablespoons oil 2汤匙油
• 6 tablespoons black peppercorns,crushed 6汤匙黑胡椒，碾碎
• 40g butter 40克黄油
• 3 tablespoons Cognac 3汤匙干邑白兰地
• 60ml white wine 60毫升白葡萄酒
• 125ml (thick/heavy)cream 125毫升奶油

How to Cook

1. Rub the steaks on both sides with the oil and press the crushed peppercorns into the meat. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and cook the steaks for 2-4 minutes on each side (depending on how you like your steak). 在牛排正反两面抹上油，将碾碎的胡椒轻柔地压入牛排的两面。在一个煎锅里放入黄油，
   等黄油融化了将牛排放入，正反两面各煎2-4分钟 (时间长短按照自己的喜好）
2. Add the Cognac and flambe by lighting the pan with a match. 加入白兰地，用火柴燃火点燃煎锅中的白兰地，这个过程是为了将酒精尽可能燃尽，
   只保留白兰地的香味
3. Put the steaks on a hot plate. Add the wine to the pan and boil, stirring, for 1 minute to deglaze the pan. Add the cream and stir for 1-2 minutes. Season and pour over the steaks. 把牛排取出放在预热过的盘子里。在煎锅里加入白葡萄酒，等到沸腾，开小火煨1分钟。
   加入奶油继续煨1-2分钟。将汁水均匀的倒在牛排上。
   
   -- 经典的黑椒牛排...很香也很辣，不喜辣的朋友可以适量减少黑胡椒的量。

1. Add the onion and garlic to the hot bacon fat and cook until transparent.
   加入洋葱和大蒜翻炒直到洋葱变透明
2. Place the quartered rabbit (only use enough to cover the base of the pan) into the Dutch Oven and saute over a low to medium heat until golden colour.
   将半只兔子切成四份放入锅中，用小火至中火煎，直到金黄色
3. Sprinkle over half the flour to the top surface, covering all the rabbit, cook for a few minutes and turn over using tongs to keep the flour from coming off. Add the rest of the flour and let brown for several minutes.
   将面粉均匀洒在面朝上的兔肉直至完全覆盖，继续煎几分钟后将兔肉翻面。将余下的面粉
   均匀洒在反面。这个步骤的目的是用面粉锁住水分，防止肉里的水分在烹饪的过程流失
4. Add the chicken stock, red wine, bay leaves, parsley, thyme.
   加入鸡汤，红酒，月桂叶，百里香和巴西里
5. Cover and simmer on low heat for approximately 40 minutes. Add more chicken stock if necessary.
   盖上盖子用小火煨将近40分钟就可以出锅了
6. During cooking time prepare potato. Take 4 peeled potatoes and slice in even chunks of about 5 cm square and put in a pot. When rabbit is about 20 minutes away from being ready, add enough COLD water to cover and cook at medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until soft enough to push a fork through.
   在炖兔肉的过程中准备土豆泥。 将4个去皮的土豆切成5厘米见方的小块放入一个小锅中。 在完成兔肉20分钟前，加入冷水在土豆的锅中，用中火煮10-15分钟，用叉子试一下看是否软了
7. Drain water and return to low heat to remove any excess water. Add milk (half a cup first, then more if needed) and butter (1 tablespoon). Allow to sit until milk has warmed, then stir and mash potatoes using a hand masher (don't use an electric mixer).
   倒出水，改用小火继续煮土豆将多余的水分进一步吸干。加入牛奶（先加入半杯，看情况再加）
   和 黄油（1汤匙）.将锅子留在炉子上用小火加热直到牛奶变暖，然后压泥
8. Add freshly chopped parsley when ready.加入新鲜切碎的百里香在土豆泥里就可以上菜了
