Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 good-sized steaks (1/2 to 1 pound each)
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 1/4 cup cognac or brandy
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Salt the steaks generously on both sides and let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat until smoking. Pat steaks dry and sear for at least 4 minutes on each side.
  3. Use a meat thermometer to ensure desired doneness: rare (120°F), medium rare (125°F), medium (140°F).
  4. Tent cooked steaks with foil and prepare the sauce by sautéing shallots in the same pan, deglazing with cognac, adding beef broth, and stirring in heavy cream.
  5. Serve steaks topped with the creamy peppercorn sauce.
