Ingredients

  • 4 × 200 g (7 oz) fillet steaks

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 6 tablespoons black peppercorns, crushed

  • 40 g (1½ oz) butter

  • 3 tablespoons Cognac or brandy

  • 125 ml (½ cup) thick (double/heavy) cream

  • green salad, to serve

Method

  1. Step 1

    Rub the steaks on both sides with the oil and press the crushed peppercorns into the meat so they don't come off while you're frying. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and cook the steaks for 2–4 minutes on each side, depending on how you like your steak.

  2. Step 2

    Now for the fun part: add the Cognac or brandy and flambé by lighting the pan with your gas flame or a match (stand well back when you do this and keep a pan lid handy for emergencies). Lift the steaks out onto a warm plate. Add the wine to the pan and boil, stirring, for 1 minute to deglaze the pan. Add the cream and stir for a couple of minutes. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the steaks. Serve with green salad.
