Peppercorn Steak with Creamy Sauce

Instructions:

Prepare the Steaks: Season the steaks generously with salt and crushed peppercorns.

Cook the Steaks: Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear until they reach your desired level of doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Remove steaks and set aside.

Deglaze the Pan: Add brandy to the hot skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Be careful as the brandy may flame.

Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-6 minutes.

Combine and Serve: Return the steaks to the skillet and coat them with the sauce. Cook for an additional minute.

Garnish and Serve: Transfer the steaks to plates, spoon over the sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley.
