How do you like your steak cooked? For me, it’s definitely rare all the way. I just cannot fathom eating anything past medium rare. And, I have converted my family to enjoy it all the same. No one likes to eat a dry, tough overcooked piece of meat. The thought just makes me shudder.

In the past, I have mostly enjoyed having my steak cooked with just salt, pepper and a tad of butter. However, I have been experimenting with incorporating some pan sauces with my steak and I actually find it quite enjoyable. It pairs quite nicely with rice as a side. And, this Taiwanese black pepper sauce is just that. It is wonderful with rice to soak up that sauce or you can even have it with a side of noodles or spaghetti and I bet it would be amazing. It is salty, sweet, tangy and very peppery. Just so addictive! I prefer a leaner cut of beef for this dish as a richer cut such as a ribeye would be lost with the sauce. I hope you give it a try.
