Ingredients

  • 2 Baby Beef steaks
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons of black peppercorns
  • 1 cup of dry white wine
  • 4 tablespoons of brandy
  • 400 ml of fresh cream
  • Salt to taste

directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (high temperature).
  2. In a large skillet, combine half the oil and the olive oil and heat over high heat.
  3. When hot, add the steaks to the skillet and let them brown for 2 minutes without moving. Flip the medallions, preferably using kitchen tongs to avoid piercing the meat and losing juices, and brown the other side for another 2 minutes.
  4. Using the tongs, hold the steaks and position them side by side to brown the edges for 1 minute, rotating until all sides are browned.
  5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a baking dish. Place in the oven for 16 minutes (for medium doneness).
  6. Without washing the skillet, add the white wine and heat over low heat. Use a spoon to scrape the bottom of the skillet so that the meat residue is absorbed into the sauce. This process is called deglazing.
  7. Place the peppercorns on a cutting board and coarsely chop them with a knife.
  8. Add the brandy, chopped peppercorns, and fresh cream to the skillet. Let it reduce for about 10 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken. Set aside.
  9. Remove the steaks from the oven. Add the liquid that formed in the baking dish to the pepper sauce and mix well.
  10. Pour the warm sauce onto the bottom of four plates and arrange the sliced steaks on top of the sauce.
