| 1. Combine the peppercorns, salt, and olive oil in a shallow dish; mix well. | 2. Coat each piece of meat with this mixture, taking care to coat both sides equally. | 3. Set a nonstick skillet that is just large enough to accommodate the steaks over high heat. | 4. When the skillet is hot, add the steaks. | 5. Reduce the heat to moderately high and cook on the first side for 2 to 3 minutes. | 6. Carefully flip the steaks and continue cooking on the other side. | 7. The total cooking time depends on how you like your meat cooked. I suggest medium rare. | 8. Remove the steaks to a large platter and keep warm in a low oven while you prepare the sauce. | 9. Remove the leftover peppercorns and oil from the skillet and return it to the heat. | 10. Add the garlic and brandy to the skillet and cook over high heat for 1 minute. | 11. Add the cream and cook over high heat, stirring all the while, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. | 12. Drizzle the sauce over the meat and serve immediately. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
