Author Notes: Here's a classic steak recipe, flavorful from peppercorns and cognac. It doesn't get any better than this!
Ingredients: 4 New York strip or sirloin steaks (6 to 8 ounces each), 3/4 inch thick, patted dry
coarse kosher salt to taste
3 tablespoons coarsely ground black peppercorns
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
6 tablespoons butter
4 ounces cognac
6 ounces heavy cream
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions: Press salt and pepper onto both sides of the steak. Melt butter in a large (preferably cast iron) skillet. Add rosemary, quickly followed by the steaks. Brown meat on both sides and cook to your liking. Pour warm cognac over the steaks and ignite (NOTE: Use extreme caution when flaming cognac and ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher handy, step back as you ignite). Remove steaks when the fire goes out and keep warm.

Add the Worcestershire sauce, cream and mustard to the pan juices, simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour sauce over steaks and serve.
