Poivrade is not the same as Au Poive. Au Poive is a different preparation and is not quite as refined as poivrade.
Meat Stock Recipe: Place veal bones, lamb bones, beef bones, pork bones, meat scraps into a large roasting pan.
Add a few dollops of tomato paste.
Add a mirepoix of some rustic un-peeled chopped carrot, celery and onion.
Bake the mixture in a 350 degree oven, till the bones and vegetables caramelize to a dark brown color. (Do not roast the mixture till it turns black!)

Classic Sauce Espagnole Recipe: I have posted a few modern style recipes for sauce espagnole that were thickened with a blonde roux. Those recipes were just a little bit better than a French brown sauce. This espagnole recipe is by the book!
Place veal bones, lamb bones, beef bones, pork bones, meat scraps and a few dollops of tomato paste with a rustic un-peeled mirepoix of carrot, celery and onion into a large roasting pan.
Roast the mixture in a 350 degree oven till the bones and vegetables caramelize to a deep brown color.
Place the bones and mirepoix into a stock pot.
Deglaze the roast pan with water and add the jus to the stock pot.
Cover the bones with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Turn the temperature to medium low heat and simmer for 4 hours.
Add water occasionally to cover the bones.
By now the meat stock should be a rich brown color.
Skim the grease off of the top of the simmering meat stock.
Make a brown roux with equal parts of unsalted butter and flour while constantly stirring over medium high heat.
Do not stop stirring or the roux will scorch!
Keep stirring as the roux changes color from blonde to tannish red color and to a brown color.
Add enough of the brown roux to the meat stock pot to thicken the broth to a thin sauce consistency.
Add about 1 ounce of tomato paste for every quart of broth in the stock pot.
Simmer the thickened meat stock for one hour and stir it occasionally.
Strain the thickened meat stock through a fine mesh strainer into a sauce pot.
Discard the bones, meat scraps and vegetables.
Add about 1/2 cup of sherry wine per quart of thickened meat sauce.
Add a bouquet garni of bay leaf, chervil and thyme.
Add a small handful of mushroom trimmings.
Add a couple of chopped shallots.
Add sea salt and black pepper.
Simmer the sauce espagnole till it becomes a medium thin sauce consistency.

Simmer the poivrade for five minutes.
Stir in 2 unsalted butter pats to finish the poivrade sauce.
Strain the poivrade sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl and keep it warm. (Do not make a poivrade sauce too far ahead of time or the black pepper will change its character if it is simmered for too long. Add the black pepper late in the recipe.)

Duplex Potato Technique: To duplex a pastry bag, flatten the star tipped pastry bag, with the buttered mashed sweet potato inside, on a counter top.
Carefully slide a second, un tipped pastry bag with the parsnip scallion mashed potato inside the mashed sweet potato bag.
Squeeze the two pastry bags as one through the shared star tip, so both kinds of potato are piped through the star tip at the same time.
This technique of duplexing is great for two complimentary potatoes of different color.
This New York Steak au Poivrade is a classic entree in every sense of the word! Peppery delicious! The duplex potatoes are amazingly beautiful to look at as well as taste. This potato was our menu potato at the last French restaurant I cooked in as a professional chef. Customers loved this duplex potato combination.
The mushrooms that I used for this poivrade recipe are small portabella mushrooms.
Shaved black truffle added to the finished poivrade sauce is a traditional way of serving poivrade too.
The last time I had a New York strip steak poivrade was at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at the Paris Casino in Las Vegas. The only difference between this strip steak and the one at Paris is the spectacular view of the Las Vegas Strip and the Bellagio Fountains. A good French Bordeaux is perfect for this elegant French entree. If I may suggest, a Danish Bleu Cheese Souffle and a glass of champagne for the perfect appetizer before a poivrade steak. I posted the Danish Bleu Souffle recipe a few months ago too. I love French fine cuisine! ... Shawna
