I was making pic related, and when I lit the alcohol, it was burning yellow until it burnt out? Why is that?

I lost interest when I saw two things: Alton Brown and medium steak. In my opinion Brown is an obnoxious pri - um - person and cooking a steak, particularly tenderloin, beyond medium rare is a waste of good meat. Much less covering it in gravy. Might be ok using cube steak or ground beef. Yeah, Steak au poivre is classic french. So are snails.

Did it turn out well, OP? I've been wanting to try that recipe for a while.

"largely based on Alton Brown's...Adapted from Alton Brown". Did you read the original post or just look at the pretty pictures.

sodium, other colors you find in alcohol are pink, and green given by other cations, do a google search in cation identification or something like that and the whole series of cation colored flames will pop out, chemistry is your friend
