Sometimes I double the sauce so I can drown my mashed potatoes in it! Be sure to get a very lean, high-quality cut of meat for best results. Serve over mashed potatoes.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons whole peppercorns
1 pound beef tenderloin steaks
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
⅓ cup brandy
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon brandy

Steps:

  • Grind peppercorns coarsely using a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.
  • Season steaks on both sides with peppercorns and salt.
  • Heat butter and oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with aluminum foil.
  • Remove skillet from heat and drain grease. Pour in 1/3 cup brandy. Light brandy carefully using a long match. Shake skillet back and forth until flames die down, about 30 seconds.
  • Return skillet to medium heat. Whisk in cream; bring to a simmer. Cook, whisking occasionally, until sauce coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon brandy. Return steaks to the skillet; cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

The steak was a bit overcooked for my taste. I like my steak medium-rare, but this was more like medium-well. The sauce was also a bit too thick for my liking.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I might have added too much salt when I was seasoning the steak. Other than that, the dish was very good.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The steak was cooked well and the sauce was flavorful. However, I think I would prefer to use a different cut of steak next time. The sirloin steak was a bit too tough for my taste.

I love the simplicity of this dish. It only requires a few ingredients, but they all come together to create a truly memorable meal. The steak is cooked in butter and shallots, then flambéed with cognac. The resulting sauce is rich and flavorful, and
