Time 45m

Yield SERVES 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons mixed peppercorns (long pepper, Pondicherry, cubeb and Tasmanian black pepper)
4 strip steaks, 1 1/2 inches thick, 10 to 12 ounces each
Kosher salt
1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large shallot, finely sliced
1/3 cup Cognac or brandy, plus additional for finishing sauce
2 cups good-quality brown veal or beef stock
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons green peppercorns in brine, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Crush the peppercorns between two layers of a kitchen towel with a rolling pin. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and sprinkle evenly with the crushed pepper, pressing gently so that it adheres.
  • Set a large, heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. When the oil starts to smoke, add two of the steaks to the pan and sear until browned, about 2 minutes a side. Transfer to a rack set in a shallow roasting pan. Repeat with the remaining steaks, adding more oil to the pan if necessary. Put in the oven to finish cooking. For medium-rare meat, remove the steaks when the internal temperature registers 135 degrees on a meat thermometer (10 to 12 minutes). Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes.
  • While the steaks are in the oven, reduce heat under the pan to low and add the shallot. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the Cognac (be careful, as it may ignite) and reduce by half, about 2 minutes. Add the stock and increase heat to medium. Simmer until thickened and reduced by about half, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cream and green peppercorns. Season with salt if desired. Cover and keep warm.
  • When ready to serve, return the sauce to a bare simmer over medium heat and add a splash of Cognac. Spoon the sauce evenly over the steaks and serve immediately.

This recipe is a fail. The steak was tough and the sauce was bland.

I would give this recipe a 7 out of 10. The steak was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my steak turned out tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise this dish was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the green peppercorns added a nice touch of flavor.
