Ingredients

9 total
  • 1 pack of brandy
  • 0.5 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 rib eye steaks
  • 1 olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of shallots, minced
  • 2 tbsp of green peppercorns, packed in brine
  • 2 tbsp of butter
  • 1 cup of beef stock
  • 1 handful of parsley, freshly chopped

Method

7 steps

  1. Step 1

    For the steaks - Season the steaks with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a large frying pan or griddle pan over high heat until very hot. Fry for 2 minutes on each side. Cover loosely with foil, rest and keep warm.

  3. Step 3

    For the sauce - Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, green peppercorns and 1 tablespoon of butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots have softened - about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the pan from the heat, add the brandy and gently return to the heat to cook the alcohol off, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Add the beef stock and increase the heat to medium-high. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Add the heavy cream and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Season to taste, finish with the freshly chopped parsley, and serve.
