Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 tablespoon Mixed Cracked Peppercorns
¼ teaspoon Salt
⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
1 pound Filet Mignon, cut into four 4-ounce steaks
2 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
2 tablespoons Cognac or Brandy
2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
Directions:
Directions:
Layer one ziplock bag inside another, pour in the peppercorns, and pound with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin until coarsely crushed.
Combine the salt, pepper, and filet mignon in a bowl and toss until the steaks are fully seasoned on all sides. In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, melt the butter into the oil. When the foaming has subsided, add the steaks and sauté for 1½ minutes per side for perfect medium-rare.
Transfer the steaks to a serving platter, and then add the crushed peppercorns, mustard, cognac or brandy, and cream to the skillet, cooking for a minute or two until the ingredients come together to form a sauce, using a spatula to break up the bits stuck to the pan. Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve immediately.

Personal Notes:
Note: I always find that it takes longer to get meat to temperature than what the recipe says when sautéing . Use a meat thermometer to gauge time on your stove.
