#ZenRecipe Chantaburi Pepper Crusted Steak

INGREDIENTS

• 4 14- to 16-ounce New York strip steaks (each about 1 to 1 1/4 inches thick)
• 3 tablespoons Chantaburi Black Peppercorns, cracked with mallet or in a mortar/pestle
• 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) butter
• 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 pound portobello mushrooms, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices

1. Sprinkle steaks with cracked peppercorns and coarse salt. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
2. Melt 1/2 cup butter in large skillet over medium heat. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and vinegar. Stir in mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt. Remove from heat.
3. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill steaks until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to plates. Top each steak with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Grill mushrooms until soft and beginning to release juices, about 3 minutes per side. Divide mushrooms among steaks and serve.
