Cracked Pepper Steak

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

1 tablespoon Cracked Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
2 (4 to 6 ounces) Beef Tenderloins, 1 inch thick
1 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Brandy or Dry Red Wine

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Combine pepper and rosemary in a large bowl. Coat both sides of the steaks with the mixture.

Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet until hot. Add steaks and cook over medium to medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 160 degrees F (for medium). Remove the steaks from the skillet and cover to keep them warm.

Add brandy to skillet and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping particles from the bottom of the skillet. Boil for about 1 minute or until liquid is reduced by half. Spoon sauce over steaks.

Makes 2 servings.
