Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 teaspoon drained green peppercorns in brine
2 cups low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup Cognac or brandy
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1 1/2-pound top sirloin steak (about 1 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add peppercorns and mash with back of fork. Add broth, Cognac, and cream and boil until sauce is thick enough to coat spoon, whisking occasionally, about 15 minutes. Set sauce aside.
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter with olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Add steak to skillet and sauté until brown and cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to cutting board. Add reserved sauce to same skillet and bring to boil, stirring to scrape up browned bits.
  • Slice steak thinly. Transfer steak to platter. Serve with sauce.

The steak was a bit dry, but the sauce was flavorful. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the steak for a shorter amount of time.

The steak was delicious, but the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of salt in the sauce next time.
