Method

  • 1. Press the peppercorns all over the steaks and leave for an half hour.

  • 2. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and cook the shallots for 2-3 minutes, until soften. Pour in the Cognac, boil for 1 minute, then add the wine. Increase the heat and boil for a few minutes to reduce by half.

  • 3. Meanwhile, make up the stock and pour in. Boil until reduced by half again. Stir in the butter, season to taste, and leave over a low heat.

  • 4. Meanwhile, brush a griddle, bbq or frying pan with a little oil and place on a high heat. Cook the steaks for 2-5 minutes each side, depending how you like them cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside for 2 minutes to rest.

  • 4. Divide between plates. Pour over the sauce and serve with Chips and fresh vine tomatoes.

  • Serve with a heavy red wine...delicious
