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
