Beef Fillets With Debra'S Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

beef fillets (1 3/4-inch for medium rare)
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
1 large ground pepper
1 c. red wine
2 garlic cloves
green peppercorns
black peppercorns
1 or 2 Tbsp. cognac
1/3 or 1/2 pt. whipping cream
garlic powder
bacon (optional)
1 c. beef stock

Preparation

Rub fillets with garlic powder and ground pepper.
Wrap with bacon (optional).
Put kosher salt in iron skillet on high heat. When very hot, sear steaks 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
Remove steaks, reduce heat to medium-high and deglaze skillet with wine. Add beef stock; use wooden spoon to get all goodies from bottom of skillet.
Crush garlic cloves, green peppercorns and black peppercorns in a cloth, with a hammer or use pepper mill if it's too hot in garage to get hammer.
Add mixture to sauce.
Add cognac; reduce heat until sauce is semi-thick.
Add whipping cream (1/3 or 1/2 pint or more, depending on your current weight). Return steaks to skillet for 1 more minute.
This is a straight shot.
Serve with something to sop in sauce.
