Preparation

What You Need

1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
4 boneless beef tenderloin medallions, rib or
other grilling steaks, (each about 1 inch/2.5 cm thick)
1/2 cup (125 ml) finely chopped red onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp (10 ml) cracked black peppercorns
1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
1/2 cup (125 ml) brandy, (or red wine)
1 cup (250 ml) 35 % whipping cream

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 30 sec. Melt butter and sauté beef 2,3 min on both sides, turning once; transfer to a plate.

Reduce heat to medium-low; add onion, garlic, peppercorns and salt; cook, stirring, for about 5 min or until soft. Deglaze with brandy and increase heat to medium. Cook, scraping up brown bits stuck to pan; boil until reduced by half.

Add cream and bring to boil; boil gently, stirring often for about 3 min or until slightly thickened. Return beef to pan with any accumulated juices and turn to coat in sauce. Simmer for about 5 min for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Season sauce to taste; spoon onto serving plates and top with beef medallion.
