Ingredients

4 sirloin steak 6 to 8 oz each

2 fl oz cognac

4 Tspoons sour cream

20 crushed peppercorns

2 Tspoons olive oil

2 Tspoons of butter

salt to taste

Directions

- Drag the steaks into the peppercorns and fry them at your convenience into the oil and butter (in a non-stick pan). French way is to cook it rare to medium rare (about 5 minutes).

- Get them out from the pan and keep in a covered hot plate during the time you prepare the sauce (don't turn flame off). - Deglaze the pan with the cognac and flambé it (you need to pour the cognac in the pan, let it get hot, then tip the pan up and put a flame near the alcohol, with care !...wait for the flame to stop by itself, it just takes a few seconds).

- Add the cream to the pan and mix everything together ; top the steaks with the sauce, add salt, and serve right away with boiled (and peeled) potatoes.
