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.
