4 Steaks, filet, 1-inch thick

20 Peppercorns, black, crushed

Remove the steaks from your refrigerator at least 1 hour before cooking, and let them reach room temperature. Press a generous amount of white pepper into the surfaces of the steaks. Cover. Place the lemon grass and water in the bottom of a steamer with ginger and peppercorns. Boil 1 to 2 minutes to release the oils and flavors. When you are ready to cook the meat, salt the steaks and steam them over vigorously boiling liquid for 3 minutes. Finish frying the steaks in a pan. Then blend all of the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Dot the steaks with the curry butter, and serve.
