OK here is a quick and easy pepper steak
Ingredients:
Steaks (I prefer sirloin about 1" thick or rib eye)
Cracked black pepper
1 small can of green peppercorns
butter
salt
white wine
brandy
cream
Veal stock
Season the steaks with cracked black pepper and salt. Heat some butter in a very hot pan, and cook the steaks in the butter to your liking.
Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the pan and keep them warm.
Pour some white wine into the pan to deglaze. Add some brandy. Add some veal stock (about 3 tablespoons), and reduce. Add the green peppercorns.
Add some butter and continue to reduce until it starts to thicken.
Finally, add some cream and cook over a low heat until it is warm and thick enough.
Pour the sauce over the still-warm steaks.
This goes well with french fries:
About 500grams of potatoes
Peel the potatoes, cut them into french fries.
Then rinse thoroughly in cold water.
Deep fry at 190 degrees Celcius for 6 minutes, then lift them out of the oil. Wait for the oil to reach full heat again (ie 190 degrees) and then put the fries back in for another 2 minutes.
Pull them out after 2 minutes, and salt to your liking.
