Here's What You'll Need:
2 New York Strip Steaks
1/8 Cup Whole Black Peppercorns.
1 Tbsp. Butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt
1/4 cup Brandy
1/2 onion minced
3 Cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 Cups reduced dark chicken stock
**Stainless Steel Saute' Pan**
Directions:



1. Cut New York Strip Steaks in half and set aside.
2. On cutting board crush peppercorns with the bottom of a pot.
3. Lightly cover steaks with crushed Peppercorns and Salt

7. In the same pan add the minced onions and garlic, and let saute' for a minute or two.
8. Add the reduced chicken stock to deglaze the pan. let the sauce thicken, add Cream, and let reduce by half or until thick. season to taste. pour peppercorn sauce over steak and enjoy!

My Personal Review:


Alright! This was an extremely fun recipe to make! Not to mention, for the first time ever i was able to FLAMBE' - or light my food on fire! talk about a rush! keep in mind you have to use a Stainless Steel pan for this or you may melt your non stick pans!! When cooking using a stainless pan you get better caramelization on the meat and better Sucs- or bits of caramelization left in the pan. Good luck to anyone trying this recipe, you will not be disappointed!

My Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 Clean Plates

Are you kidding? You light the poor thing on fire and only give it a 5-10 minute rest? I'd require at least half an hour after all that! Looks delicious!
