Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Salt the steaks generously and let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a hot skillet, heat oil until it smokes. Pat the steaks dry and sear without moving them for at least 4 minutes until they release easily. Flip and reduce heat to medium to cook evenly.
  3. Remove the steaks and sauté shallots in the same pan for about 2 minutes. Deglaze with cognac, then add beef stock and boil until thickened (4-5 minutes). Stir in heavy cream and parsley; adjust seasoning.
  4. Serve the steaks on warm plates with the sauce drizzled over them.
