Pepper Steak for Two image

This recipe was adopted from an old cookbook called Cooking for Two by Sue Russell. I love the flavour of this very quick and simple to prepare steak. I highly recommend that you use whole peppercorns that you crack yourself.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 rib eye steaks, cut 1-inch thick (1/4 lb to 1/2 lb each)
3 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
2 ounces butter (1/4 cup or 1/2 stick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons brandy
1 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Place peppercorns in a ziplock bag and crush coarsely with a rolling. Alternatively, you may use a mortar and pestle but you may have the pepper escaping as it's crushed.
  • Press cracked pepper into both sides of steaks.
  • In a heavy-based frying pan, heat butter and oil and cook steaks to desired doneness, turning once. (Medium-rare takes about 8 to 11 minutes, Medium takes about 12 to 14 minutes).
  • Remove from pan and keep hot.
  • Stir brandy into the pan juices and bring to a boil, scraping the sediment from pan.
  • Remove from heat and add extra butter.
  • Pour this sauce over the steaks and serve immediately.
