  1. Season both sides of the steak with salt. Press peppercorns onto both sides of the steak to form a crust.

  3. Return skillet to heat and add shallot. Cook and stir shallot for 1 minute. Pour in brandy. Reduce heat slightly, add stock and heavy cream. Cook until liquid has reduced to a creamy consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt. Serve steak with the sauce.

Recipe Note

A twist on the usual steak with peppercorn sauce, this steak is first encrusted in crushed peppercorns and pan-fried, then finished with a creamy peppercorn and brandy cream sauce. This is great for two, or for one hungry person!
