Ingredients

1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper

4 x 250g scotch fillet steaks (or rump steaks)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoon brandy

1/3 cup (80ml) beef stock

55 gram can green peppercorns, drained

1/2 cup (125ml) thickened cream

Method

1.Rub pepper over both sides of steaks.

2.Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt. Cook steaks for about 3 minutes each side or until done as desired. Remove the steaks to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm.

3.Pour the brandy into the pan; stir well to remove any nice brown bits from the pan. Add the stock, peppercorns and cream. Simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes or until thickened slightly. Season to taste. Add any juices from the steak to the pan; stir until combined.

4.Serve the steaks with the pepper sauce, creamy mashed potato and steamed greens.

If canned peppercorns aren’t available, use 1 extra tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper instead.
