Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat (leave door just a bit ajar) 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until meat thermometer registers 140° for rare or 150° for medium rare (160° for medium).
• Add brandy or bourbon to drippings in skillet; bring to a boil over medium heat, and deglaze pan, scraping browned bits that cling to bottom.
• Add minced garlic, peppercorns, oregano, and salt; cook 1 minute. Add whipping cream; bring to a boil, and cook 6 to 7 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half.
• Remove from heat; whisk in sour cream, and spoon sauce over steaks. Serve with noodles or baked potatoes.

PAN SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CREAMY PEPPERCORN SAUCE (SBD P2)

Steps:

• In a spice grinder, coarsely grind the peppercorns. Rub steaks on both sides pressing to adhere. Season lightly with salt. Discard garlic.
• Lightly coat a large heavy skillet or cast iron with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add steaks and sear on each side, about 1 minute per side. Continue to cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• While steak is resting, return the pan to medium heat, add broth, and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits clinging to the pan. Stir in sour cream and remove from the heat. Serve the steaks warm with sauce drizzled on top.

FILET MIGNONS WITH PEPPER CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the peppercorns into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the beef tenderloin filets with salt on both sides, and coat both sides with crushed peppercorns.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil over high heat in a heavy skillet (not nonstick) until the foam disappears from the butter. Gently place the steaks in the pan, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 1/2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to platter, and cover tightly with foil.
• Pour the beef broth into the skillet, and use a whisk to stir the broth and scrape up any dissolved brown flavor bits from the skillet. Whisk in the cream, and simmer the sauce until it's reduced and thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Place the steaks back in the skillet, turn to coat with sauce, and serve with the remaining sauce.
