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.

This recipe was a disaster! The steak was tough and the sauce was bland. I don't recommend this recipe.

The steak was a bit overcooked for my liking, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be sure to cook the steak for less time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much pepper. I'll definitely try it again with less pepper next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pepper, but I'm glad I did. The steak was delicious and the sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love this recipe! The steak is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is so flavorful. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes and green beans.
