Steps:
- In a saucepan, heat the cream until it reduces by half (20-30 minutes).
- In a saute pan, heat the oil and butter.
- Spread crushed peppercorns on a work surface.
- Pat the steaks dry and coat both sides with an even layer of peppercorns, pressing in with heel of hand to make adhere; season to taste with garlic salt.
- Lay the steaks in the pan.
- Sear steaks over high heat to desired doneness (the steaks are medium-rare when they feel slightly resistant to touch and you can see a faint pearling of red juice on the surface).
- Add bouillon, lemon juice, wine, and salt to the sauce, and stir.
- When the steaks have cooked, remove them from the pan; pour in the brandy.
- Ignite the brandy and, once the flames die down, stir to deglaze the pan; then add the brandy to the cream sauce.
- Place each steak on a toasted slice of bread and top with sauce.
