Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 4 Steaks
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 4 tbsp. freshly cracked peppercorns
- 1/2 c. sweet butter
- 2 tbsp. good Cognac
- 1/2 c. veal stock
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- For steak: Preheat the oven to 425 ºF. Moisten the meat very slightly with oil, then dredge each of the steaks in the crushed peppercorns to thoroughly coat. Don't be shy with the pepper.
- Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons, which is half of the butter. Place the steaks in the pan and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until desired doneness, about 5 to 7 minutes for rare, 10 minutes for medium rare, and so on. Remove from the oven and remove the steaks from the pan to rest. Have I told you yet to always rest your meat after cooking? I've told you now.
- For sauce: Return the skillet to the stove top and carefully stir in the Cognac. As much fun as it is to create a column of flame as you add flammable material to an incredibly hot pan, it's not really desirable or necessary — especially in a home kitchen. Unless you're a pyromaniac, I recommend carefully adding the Cognac to the still-hot pan off the flame, stirring and scraping with the wooden spoon to get every scrap, every peppercorn, every rumor of flavor clinging to the bottom of the pan.
- Now place the pan on the flame again and cook it down a bit, by about half. Stir in the veal stock and reduce over medium heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Whisk in the remaining butter and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with French fries or sautéed potatoes.
