4 Steaks
One half cup Brandy.
1 50 centilite double cream;
(or creme fraiche).
1 small Cup green peppercorns.
3 tablespoon Groundnut oil.
Salt; pepper mill.

1 Season the steaks.

2 Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the steaks for 5 minutes on
each side. Remove from the pan and arrange on a serving dish. Pour the
brandy over them and flambe.

3 Drain the peppercorns. Pour the cream into the frying pan, stir with a
wooden spoon to mix the cooking juices into the cream, pour in the
peppercorns. Cook to reduce. Pour this sauce over the steaks and serve

Pepper was used in cooking from the beginning of the Middle Ages, but was
nevertheless hard to come by and expensive, and was sometimes used to pay
taxes.
