Ingredients
  

  • 2 steaks NY Strip, Ribeye, or Top Sirloin 16 oz each
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 large shallot thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns roughly crushed
  • 1/3 cup beef broth as a substitute for brandy or cognac
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon green peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven and cook the steaks to your preferred doneness (aim for 120°F for medium-rare). Sear the steaks in avocado oil over medium-high heat, then remove and let them rest until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare. Leave about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan.
  • Sauté the sliced shallots in the remaining oil for about 30 seconds until soft. Add the crushed black peppercorns and toast them for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Deglaze the pan by adding the beef broth, simmering for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the additional beef broth, stirring over high heat for 3-4 minutes to reduce the liquid by half. Add the green peppercorns and stir well.
  • Slowly mix in the heavy cream, letting the sauce simmer rapidly for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Pour the sauce over your steaks, garnish with chopped parsley, and enjoy!
