GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Wash steaks and pat dry. Carefully trim away all visible fat. Combine garlic and olive oil. Pour over steaks and marinate, refrigerated, for 2 to 4 hours. Season steaks with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Broil 5 - 7 minutes per side or until meat has only a hint of pink.

Serve with GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE.

GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE: ~---------------------- In small sauce pan, melt butter and stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Note: ~---- Simple fare with a touch of elegance. Venison or red stag steaks can be substituted for elk. When serving Venison or Red Stag Steaks, PORT WINE SAUCE is better than the green peppercorn sauce.
