Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp beef bouillon
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp marsala wine or 1 tbsp madeira wine
1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 cup cognac
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
4 (8 oz) sirloin steaks, each 1-inch thick (room temperature )
2 tbsp peppercorns, crushed (to crush , place the peppercorns in a plastic bag and flatten them with flat side of meat mallet)
garlic salt , to taste
1/2 loaf french bread, cut into 1-inch thick rounds & toasted on both sides

Directions:

In a saucepan, heat the cream until it reduces by half (20-30 minutes).
In a saute pan, heat the oil and butter.
Spread crushed peppercorns on a work surface.
Pat the steaks dry and coat both sides with an even layer of peppercorns, pressing in with heel of hand to make adhere; season to taste with garlic salt.
Lay the steaks in the pan.
Sear steaks over high heat to desired doneness (the steaks are medium-rare when they feel slightly resistant to touch and you can see a faint pearling of red juice on the surface).
Add bouillon, lemon juice, wine, and salt to the sauce, and stir.
When the steaks have cooked, remove them from the pan; pour in the brandy.
Ignite the brandy and, once the flames die down, stir to deglaze the pan; then add the brandy to the cream sauce.
Place each steak on a toasted slice of bread and top with sauce.
