Ingredients

  • 2 beef fillets or other good steak
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 kosher salt
  • 1 fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 2 tbsp additional brandy
  • 1/2 a cup of heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp crushed peppercorns
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

Method

  • pre heat your oven to 500F
  • spinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of each steak.
  • ( I also added some Montreal steak seasoning to mine )
  • melt butter in a medium oven proof skillet over medium high heat.
  • when skillet is hot , brown the steaks on both sides for about 45 seconds or longer if you need
  • place the skillet into the hot oven for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • ( I don't have an oven proof skillet so I had to use one of my other pans and I also cooked mine longer since I don't like my steak pink)
  • remove the steaks from the oven then transfer them to a separate plate.
  • place the skillet on the stove over low heat.
  • add in the brandy and Dijon mustard in the skillet and whisk together
  • add in heavy cream and peppercorns, whisking to combine.
  • allow it to bubble for about 45 seconds.
  • I let mine go a bit longer but not much.
  • maybe 2 minutes.
  • spoon the sauce over the steaks and serve.
  • enjoy!
