Steps

  • Cut a pocket into the side of each steak and insert the Peppadew peppers.
  • Press the cracked peppercorns into both sides of the steaks.
  • Heat a pan over high heat with butter and oil, then fry steaks for two minutes per side.
  • Remove meat to rest and flambé the brandy in the pan over medium heat.
  • Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, stock, and wine, reducing the volume by a third.
  • Stir any resting juices from the steaks back into the sauce.
  • Add green peppercorns and cream, cooking for two minutes and seasoning with salt.
  • Return steaks to the pan to warm through without boiling the sauce.
  • Serve the steaks drizzled with sauce alongside chips and watercress salad.
