Steak Au Poivre With Dried Cherries

   Cook until the mixture is reduced by half, 5-8 minutes.

3. 3

   While the broth mixture is cooking, press the cracked pepper into both sides of the steaks.

   In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil.

   Cook all of the steaks until browned on both sides and done to your liking.
