Pepper Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
4 steaks (your favourite type and size)
3 tablespoons brandy
4 teaspoons green peppercorns (the ones canned in brine)
1 cup beef stock
1 cup cream (I always use low fat)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chopped chives

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the steaks to your liking- (remembering they will have to rest and keep warm about 10 minutes, so they will continue to cook).
Remove the cooked steaks from the pan, and add the brandy allow a little of it to cook away, add the peppercorns to the pan and crush about half of them with the back of a fork.
Add the beef stock and cook over a high heat for a couple of minutes to reduce by about half.
Add the cream and continue to cook over a high heat for a few more minutes until this mixture has again reduced by half-or to a nice consistency.
Add the worchestershire sauce and the chives and serve over your steaks.
