Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Steak

Season the Angus sirloin steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

2

Sear the Steak

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sirloin steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest.

3

Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the brandy and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

4

Finish the Sauce

Stir in the heavy cream and green peppercorns. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Finish with butter and stir until melted and smooth.

5

Serve

Slice the rested sirloin steak against the grain and serve with the brandy peppercorn sauce drizzled over the top.
