📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
About ⏱️ 30 minutes before cooking, remove the steaks from the refrigerator. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season them all over with the salt; set aside.
3
Place the peppercorns in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed skillet to roughly crush them. Place the crushed peppercorns in a shallow dish. Press the filets into the peppercorns to create a crust on both sides. Reserve the remaining crushed peppercorns (you should have about 2 teaspoons).
4
Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium (10-inch) heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear to form a dark crust, about ⏱️ 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a baking sheet, transfer to the oven, and cook to your desired doneness, 5 to ⏱️ 6 minutes for medium rare (130°F internal temperature). Let the steaks rest on a cutting board.
5
Meanwhile, reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, along with the dijon mustard, bouillon cube, and reserved peppercorns. Whisk to combine.
6
Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully deglaze the pan with the brandy, allowing it to bubble and cook off the alcohol. Carefully return the pan to the heat and bring to a boil. Let the brandy reduce slightly, stirring and scraping up the flavorful bits on the bottom of the pan, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Whisk in the heavy cream and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened and reduced by about half, 4 to ⏱️ 6 minutes. Taste for salt.
7
Serve the steaks with the sauce spooned over the top and the remaining sauce on the side.
