Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | Boneless tenderloin steaks; 3/4-inch thick | |
| 3 | tablespoons | Whole peppercorns |
| ½ | cup | Cognac |
| 1 | cup | Whipping cream |
| 1 | tablespoon | Flour |
| 2 | tablespoons | Butter |
| Salt to taste | ||
Directions
Crush peppercorns. Salt the meat & sprinkle ½ teaspoon crushed peppercorns on each side of each piece of meat, pressing hard so pepper will adhere to the meat. Let stand 30 minutes. Brown steaks in hot butter & remove to a serving platter. Keep steaks hot. Discard butter used for frying. To the pan, add the cognac & ignite. When flame dies out, add ½ the cream & let boil slowly for 1 minute. During that time, mix 1 Tbs flour with remaining cream & add to pan. As soon as it comes to a boil, pour over steaks & serve immediately. Garnish with shoestring potatoes.
