Steak with Black Pepper Sauce

A nice steak with black pepper sauce is always a winner and pairs perfectly with a dark flavourful red wine if you choose not to have a salad on the side. I personally prefer my steak medium-rare but by all means cook yours to your preferred degree. Ingredients: • 227 ml double cream • 2 tablespoons black or green peppercorns • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce • 1 tablespoon brandy (optional) • 4 x 175 grams fillet steaks Directions: • Preheat the oven at 180C. • In a small saucepan, heat cream over medium low heat, being careful not to boil. Stir in peppercorns, Worcestershire sauce and brandy and simmer for 2 to 5 minutes. Keep warm while making the steak. • Place the steaks on a lightly oiled tray and put the tray in the oven. Allow to sear for 10 minutes, turn over and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve with the black pepper sauce.
