# Mexican-Style Steak Au Poivre with Chipotle-Cream Sauce  - Made In

When a classic French dish like steak au poivre meets Chef Edgar Rico of Austin’s Nixta Taqueria, the result is bound to be both memorable and delicious.

James Beard Award-winning [Chef Edgar Rico](https://www.instagram.com/edgarrico/) combined his classic French culinary training with the flavors of his restaurant, [Nixta Taqueria](https://www.nixtataqueria.com/menu) in Austin, Texas, to give the classic French dish Steak Au Poivre (pepper steak) his own spin. The rich pan sauce swaps the traditional cognac for mezcal, and features the addition of smoky and spicy chipotle chiles.

This recipe serves four for an intimate dinner party, but can easily be halved for a date night in. No matter how big your crowd, it comes together beautifully thanks to the searing power of our [Enameled Cast Iron Skillet](https://madeincookware.com/products/cast-iron-skillet).
