4 (6 ounce) beef tenderloin fillets |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
3 tablespoons butter, divided |
3 tablespoons brandy |
1 tablespoon light brown sugar |
1/4 cup whipping cream |
fresh chives, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle steaks evenly with the salt and pepper.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add steaks, and cook 3 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness. Remove steaks from skillet; keep warm while preparing the sauce.
4. Add brandy to skillet, stirring to loosen residue from bottom of the skillet. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and browns.
5. Remove skillet from heat; whisk in cream until blended. Return to heat, and bring to boil; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute or until thickened. Serve immediately over steaks. Garnish with chives, if desired.
