Thanks so much for this article

Thanks everyone for all of your suggestions. I really appreciate it.

You can almost always miss out pepper without serious problems. Steak Au Poivre is an exception...

If you want an alternative, experiment. I agree cumin could be a good alternative. Or try coriander seed.

Thanks!!!

Why am I getting a woo tag for suggesting you shouldn't miss out pepper in Steak au Poivre?

Quick tip, people: if it contains no objective truth claims, it can't be woo.

Apparently some use it as a positive (like woo hoo). It is confusing at times.

I guess it depends on the recipe. You could leave it out entirely and get used to it.
You might try ginger or horseradish in some things.
Garlic, onion, lemon or lime juice, vinegars should make things less bland.
You might use herbs to add more flavor. http://www.herbbee.com/quick-guide-to-common-herbs-and-their-uses-in-recipes-and-cooking/
