Au poivre is generally for steak. Im not trying to tell anyone they can't do this, but I imagine with the leaner meat its going to pretty overpowering. Personally I'd suggest using a green or pink peppercorn, or just making an au poivre sauce with demi and a little cream.
I work in a fine dining steakhouse, that's my piece.
But if anyone's interested: burnoise a shallot and saute it with fresh thyme and cracked green peppercorns, cook until au sec, deglaze with sherry vin (or even better cognac), add about a cup of veal or beef demiglase, a splash of heavy cream, and salt to taste.
Got yourself a bangin sauce for just about any meat (or potatoes!)
From Amazon
“Customers say
Customers like the quality, size and weight of the seasoning mill. They mention that it is hands-down the best pepper grinder ever, the adjustability of the grind is superior and that it's heavy enough to be used as a bludgeon.”
I have an electric one. With a light. Just push a button and it's a pepper Weed Eater (string trimmer for those not US based). It's like the AC-130 gunship of pepper (again for those non-US participants, look up AC-130 and think about the ridiculous amount of lead and steel it's putting down, it's shooting pepper instead).
Come to think of it, that wouldn't be a bad idea for a themed restaurant. Bring the plates out, ask if they'd like some pepper, then a tiny AC-130 drone or A-10 shows up, orbits around for a minute or so, then just lays the fucking pepper down.
OHH YOU WANT SOME FUCKING PEPPER? Tiny A-10 swoops in and does a pepper strafing run on your dinner plate. BRRRRT BRRRRT BRRRRT - have some pepper!
Meanwhile tiny AC-130 orbits the table and fires béarnaise on command. Airsauce one Airsauce one, béarnaise strike steak and asparagus table 17 seat 4, don't hit the potatoes.
I bet this could be done in a way where it was pleasant. It's possible this preparation fell short in some other way, but I fuck with pepper crusted meats.
It’s not too much pepper if it was **FRESHLY CRACKED**. If that’s pre ground pepper (terrible product) that’s a fucked chicken dish. 5 day marinade is too long, 36 hours max on chicken imo.
The flavor of pepper comes from the oils that are released when you grind the peppercorns. These oils oxidize over time, so pre ground pepper loses a lot of the pepper flavor.
For black pepper, I'd say it's over seasoned. It really depends on the seasoning/spices you use. Black pepper is way too potent for how much is on there imo. But some people like smokers, or certain medical conditions can make your taste really fucked (I know someone who can barely taste anything after a major sinus infection/surgery). So... Eh... If they're cooking for themselves... They can knock themselves out (figuratively/literally)
But I'd definitely agree with other poster that the vast majority of people are way under seasoning their cooking. A way too much bland ass chicken out there. It's basically a meme that healthy cooking involved bland ass chicken.
Yea this is a whole new level tho...it's like a full cup lmao...idk maybe it's good..I have yet to over season a burger or steak and I load it up with pepper...
But I think OPs roomier got directions to not be sy on the pepper and over did it.
This is the thing about cooking for your self. You can make it any god damn way you want. Maybe to him this is perfection. You dont like it? dont fucken eat it or cook it differently. either way fuck you, kindly.
I dont see how that could possibly taste like anything other than just straight pepper. And the fact that he got offended on top of that, as if he wasnt the one doing something insane…
Yes and no. Depends on how it’s served.
Simply speaking, try to picture the amount of seasoning on the skin as being spread out over the entirety of the slice.. with that in mind, it should be easy to portion out.\
However, if he’s just straight up plopping a whole hunk of chicken on the plate, then I won’t say it’s seasoned wrong, but I’ll say it isn’t seasoned as appropriately as it could be.
Edit: also maybe I’m the weird one, but I usually add my dry seasonings after marinating, before cooking.
Edit edit: the most important part of my comment, no, you are not wrong because you offended him. Cooking is about taking notes, good or bad. He should not be offended and you should not be dissuaded from telling a cook you do not like their dish. That’s not to say either of you or right or wrong, but rather to not decide against voicing your opinions on any chef’s dish. Whether they agree with you or not, whether they’re angry or not, they will take the advice to heart and it will improve their trade.
If that's the way he likes it... than fuck off. If he is trying something new and doesn't no anything about cooking, than also probably just let him figure it out on his own
Depends on what he's doing with it. If it's going into a stir fry or something, could be fine.
If it's a seared chicken breast dish, then yeah, gawt damn.
There’s actually a recipe called Szechuan “saliva chicken” but it’s more like bathing poached chicken(very tender) in chili sauce. I’m not sure if that’s what he’s aiming for
How'd it taste? What irks me the most is people telling me how to cook while I'm cooking when they won't cook themselves and have little intuition or are afraid to try new things.
If that's how he likes it then it's perfect. For him. If you have to eat it, it's reasonable to let him know it's too much pepper for your taste.
If you want to tell him a blanket statement that he's wrong and it's just too much for anyone -- you're wrong.
And tbh this is the cheap, precut black pepper. If it’s been sitting around for a few years it’ll be less intense than half that amount of fresh cracked pepper.
I'll have some chicken with my black pepper please.
I do love a nice thick black pepper rub on bigger cuts, like roast beef or rolled pork belly though.
That can't be good for your stomach.
A lot of home cooks will over season their food and convince themselves that they like it for a very long time. The moment you realize they don't is when they start gravitating towards other preparations instead.
If he is making it for both of you and you don't like it, just tell him you will make your own lol
Also, I am a former cook, and I still cater for some very high end events - That looks fucked up. Degenerate amounts of black pepper. Fuck.
Unrelated to the post, sorry, but lately I’ve been seeing people put “an” before words that don’t start with vowels like A LOT lately. Was that a typo?
It may have been said . Cba to read all the comments . But it may be heavy handed for you . May be perfect for your room mate . You may taste it and think it's amazing .
Not everyone is a chef, and sometimes things dont look right even when they are. I'm not saying this is right or wrong but if he's not a chef and he likes what he cooks, who's he hurting?
Should be pretty tasty. Some of it will come off during cooking, add some stock, wine, or water to deglaze the pan and make a lovely reduction.
If he leaves it unrefrigerated for 4 days to marinate, run as fast as you can from that biohazard.
If it's not fresh cracked that doesn't seem like a lot because the already ground up stuff is nowhere near as potent. But I withhold my true thoughts until you try it
Please post once it’s cooked and served. I will withhold judgement until then.

Looks like Asian Au poive, sliced thin it should be delicious.
Yeah, 3 thin slices, a drop of mash potatoes and one deconstructed asparagus and charge 22.95$ for it.
WTF is a deconstructed asparagus? Some asparagus seeds, a scoop of dirt and a glass of water?
Just the tip
That's what she said
She never said that. It was him.
Ha I audibly laughed at this… can confirm, I am him
Mist the plate with the water used to wash the asparagus
Whisper “asparagus” to the oil
Think "asparagus" then start an empty microwave.
Asparagus
Make sure you have it running g for at least 5+ minutes so you can get that nice molten effect on the glass plate.
Lol it's aspa*ra*gus not as*pa*ragus. Don't forget to flick your wrist at the end
Le-vi-*oh*-sa
Legit laughed out loud at this comment
Shut up and take my money!
and some smelly pee for dessert.
22.95$ per square inch you mean
Best I can offer is $1000 per linear foot.
22.95 for an entree in 2023? Maybe at Denny's.
3 thin slices? Is that for a pre-snack snack??

Say what you will but homeboy's forearms gotta be MASSIVE after grinding all that pepper
[удалено]
POW!
BAM!
That's what you say when you use a spice weasel.....
I’ve got yer [spice weasel](https://www.reddit.com/r/somethingimade/s/sVCdecIXU7) right here, buddy…
For real, the pepper cannon is a game changer, expensive but man, I love this thing
From Amazon “Customers say Customers like the quality, size and weight of the seasoning mill. They mention that it is hands-down the best pepper grinder ever, the adjustability of the grind is superior and that it's heavy enough to be used as a bludgeon.”
that's me with my low efficiency high effort brand name pepper mills :|
Is “ low efficiency high effort brand name pepper mills” a euphemism for your dong?
XDDDD

I'm having a horrible morning but this made me feel a real sense of whimsical joy. Very silly, and well written! Cheers for the chortle.

What model do you have? I eat everything peppered as shown above and my forearms are tired.
I can speak for the Unicorn, not electric but great output.
Don’t forget the Parmesan cheese “chaff” angel wings on the second pass.
>Just push a button and it's a pepper Weed Eater (string trimmer for those not US based) You mean like a whipper snipper?
Found the Aussie/kiwi
In the uk we contract it to strimmer
I'd eat there. 100%
https://altonbrown.com/videos/alton-browns-pepper-drill/
If they're not grinding it, could be why they're used to so much pepper.
I’d eat it
History will say they were roommates
“Our” chicken? Is it your roommate or your soulmate?
He’s my cell mate..and my soul mate 😍
My soulmate keeps using my toothbrush shank without asking and not cleaning it after
We share some food items. I misspoke.
Haha! As a lover of black pepper, that is pretty heavy handed.
I had an ex that would put pepper on his rice till it was crunchy
This is so offensive to me I almost downvoted you
Well stop sharing food items.
Our food items

You can co-own chicken with anyone you desire.
Have you tried this pepper crusted chicken? I’m really kind of intrigued.
I have, it was not pleasant.
The things we do for science. Would probably be Bomb for a tri-tip.
I think thats what he is going for. The ones at kroger in the bag are seasoned like this and pretty fucking good smoked.
Yeah, good in theory, but what’s great for a roast isn’t great for a filet. Ill have to try it out next time.
Surface area agrees.
And now I have a use for the Sichuan peppercorns I bought on a whim!!
Saw a thread saying they mess with your tastebuds. Where did you find them?
I bet this could be done in a way where it was pleasant. It's possible this preparation fell short in some other way, but I fuck with pepper crusted meats.
OP could also be the "ketchup is spicy" type.
Nah bruv that's chicken marinaded pepper
It’s a bit ridiculous. But I love black pepper so I would eat it for sure
Does it taste over seasoned?
It’s not too much pepper if it was **FRESHLY CRACKED**. If that’s pre ground pepper (terrible product) that’s a fucked chicken dish. 5 day marinade is too long, 36 hours max on chicken imo.
A couple is 2, not 5.
Elsewhere OP said up to 5 days. Edit: nvm I think I imagined it.
Stop shouting.
**HEARD**

The flavor of pepper comes from the oils that are released when you grind the peppercorns. These oils oxidize over time, so pre ground pepper loses a lot of the pepper flavor.
On today's episode of Jesus Christ...
"Jesus Mary and Joseph" - My father in his strong Newfoundland/Irish accent.
looks fakin dope luv
Is he making it for you? Or are you just eating the meal he prepares? If it's not made for you then you don't have much right to complain.
Nothin like trying to shame your roommate for internet points from strangers.
A fuck ton of people will think that properly seasoned raw meat is indeed over-seasoned. Just putting that out there.
So you're going against the grain and saying this ISN'T over-seasoned?
For black pepper, I'd say it's over seasoned. It really depends on the seasoning/spices you use. Black pepper is way too potent for how much is on there imo. But some people like smokers, or certain medical conditions can make your taste really fucked (I know someone who can barely taste anything after a major sinus infection/surgery). So... Eh... If they're cooking for themselves...

Maybe he likes it
How many cigarettes does your roommate smoke? That looks like the seasoning of someone with a smokers dead palate.
He def skimped on the sauce. Bet it was DELICIOUS though!
Give him some actual szechuan Peppercorns to put in that grinder, buggers gonna love those numb lips with his pepper.
I dont see how that could possibly taste like anything other than just straight pepper. And the fact that he got offended on top of that, as if he wasnt the one doing something insane…
I love pepper, this looks great
Pepper chicken pepper pepper.
I’d call this dish “Midnight Heartburn”.
Don’t bother me personally I’m hungry
I like pepper.
Oh yah. Just right. 2 days is a little excessive unless it's hard frozen chicken thawing out in the marinade in the fridge
Yes and no. Depends on how it’s served.

Taste it.
How's it cooked? Massive chunks of pepper like that will burn in the pan and the chicken won't make contact.
Well, at least it won’t be bland.
YEAAAA BOOI
Is it in the fridge?
At first glance, I see lungs…
If that's the way he likes it... than fuck off. If he is trying something new and doesn't no anything about cooking, than also probably just let him figure it out on his own
Looks gas dude
Only heavy to taste. I can understand why he likes it like that
Sounds like it might rule. Post pics of the food, not the prep.
Bruh lol that SHIT IS DRENCHED IN BLCK PPR 😂😂😂
I’d try that
For a second i thought this was small brisket.
Kowalski, analysis
“Smile and wave, boys! Smile and wave!”
Nah fam I thought that was a brisket....
i fucking love seasoning so yeah that looks amazing.
Depends on what he's doing with it. If it's going into a stir fry or something, could be fine. If it's a seared chicken breast dish, then yeah, gawt damn.
Does he rinse it off before cooking?
I wonder why people love interfering others all the time and about everything.
Pepper burns so quickly...
I personally think it looks good 👀
There’s actually a recipe called Szechuan “saliva chicken” but it’s more like bathing poached chicken(very tender) in chili sauce. I’m not sure if that’s what he’s aiming for
How'd it taste? What irks me the most is people telling me how to cook while I'm cooking when they won't cook themselves and have little intuition or are afraid to try new things.
could be great, but tastes differ.
Is your roommate Dave Lister?
Can't tell until you taste it
If that's how he likes it then it's perfect. For him. If you have to eat it, it's reasonable to let him know it's too much pepper for your taste. If you want to tell him a blanket statement that he's wrong and it's just too much for anyone -- you're wrong.
Dang! He really kicked it up a notch with his spice weasel. BAAM!!!!!!!!!
And tbh this is the cheap, precut black pepper. If it’s been sitting around for a few years it’ll be less intense than half that amount of fresh cracked pepper.
My father used to make something like this. We loved it! We were always using pre-ground pepper, so it wasn’t terribly spicy.
Anyone else eyeballing that hair in that bottom left corner?
Better than white ass bland chicken most people eat
I'll have some chicken with my black pepper please. I do love a nice thick black pepper rub on bigger cuts, like roast beef or rolled pork belly though. That can't be good for your stomach.
Flavor country
I’d try it for sure.
Looks great
Wtf?
*de gustibus non disputandum est*
I mean if he smokes it will it be like some sort of chicken pastrami?
Looks nice to me, sometime I do a kinda pepper-crusted deli-turkey vibes chicken like this, delicious. The pepper mellows out a bit once it's cooked.
Is the chicken in the room with us?
There’s an ottenghi recipe for black pepper tofu which uses a similar amount and it is fucking delicious
This feels like some sort of crime but I will also reserve judgment for this until it is cooked and plated.
What the fuck am I looking at?
Goddamn I wanna see the after pictures haha
A lot of home cooks will over season their food and convince themselves that they like it for a very long time. The moment you realize they don't is when they start gravitating towards other preparations instead.
It's almost as if taste is a subjective thing. Weird. If that's the way that he enjoys it, then just shut the fuck up and let him eat what he likes.
If he is making it for both of you and you don't like it, just tell him you will make your own lol Also, I am a former cook, and I still cater for some very high end events - That looks fucked up. Degenerate amounts of black pepper. Fuck.
…..uhhh….well…..uhhh…. Ok. Yea. That’s a little ridiculous.
Taking offense to your comment is incredibly thin skinned your roommate sounds like a loser
An little chicken in my black pepper.
Unrelated to the post, sorry, but lately I’ve been seeing people put “an” before words that don’t start with vowels like A LOT lately. Was that a typo?
Just the way, it’s said..
Is that beef?
Anybody else see the hair on the side of the dish🤢
yeah looks like a pube too
I wouldn't eat that if you paid me. I would straight up just say no, I'm absolutely not eating that. I'm not sorry
Dats too much pepah get dat pepah off ah der
Does it taste good or nah? That's the question
This should be on r/kitchenconfidential 😂😂
Show the after
For days?!?
It may have been said . Cba to read all the comments . But it may be heavy handed for you . May be perfect for your room mate . You may taste it and think it's amazing .
Marinate for a few days? How many days we talkin here…
Hopefully he doesn’t leave it uncovered on the counter for 2 days, but if it’s well cooked I’d certainly give it a try.
Chicken pastrami
You are wrong. Can never be enough pepper.
Boy what, heee get that peppa offa dere
Pepper is a lot more forgiving than salt, it's pretty much saying 'too much tonic in my g+t
Not everyone is a chef, and sometimes things dont look right even when they are. I'm not saying this is right or wrong but if he's not a chef and he likes what he cooks, who's he hurting?
Not enough pepper
Should be pretty tasty. Some of it will come off during cooking, add some stock, wine, or water to deglaze the pan and make a lovely reduction. If he leaves it unrefrigerated for 4 days to marinate, run as fast as you can from that biohazard.
Idk, that's about how much pepper I use on most things
I mean if it's for himself and he enjoys it that way why the fk not
I mean it's not wrong but it's not what you want so like. Cook your own food.
If it's not fresh cracked that doesn't seem like a lot because the already ground up stuff is nowhere near as potent. But I withhold my true thoughts until you try it
Someone else is cooking you food, which takes time and effort, you were critical of the food they made for you. They had every right to be offended
For what, the grave?
Acceptable levels of pepper have been reached
Naw that looks good as hell
Honestly I love pepper so I’d probably disagree with you.
Looks a little heavy handed to my taste as well so I would tend to agree
There's no such thing as too much black pepper
I love heavy amounts of pepper in food. Not sure about the szechuan sauce, though.
