Instructions

Ingredients

2 New York Strip / Porterhouse steaks (300g/10oz each)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp vegetable oil (15ml)

For the Sauce

1/3 cup brandy or cognac (85ml) (or marsala)
3/4 cup beef broth/stock (185ml), low sodium
1/2 cup heavy cream (125ml)
2 - 3 tsp coarsely crushed whole black peppercorns
1 tsp Smoky Chipotle Harissa

Instructions

Prepare the Steaks

Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover with foil to rest.

Make the sauce

Carefully add the brandy or cognac to the hot skillet. If you are comfortable doing so, ignite the alcohol with a long match or lighter to flambé, letting the flame burn off the alcohol. If you prefer not to flambé, simply let the alcohol simmer and reduce by half.
Add the beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream and the coarsely crushed black peppercorns. Add the Smoky Chipotle Harissa and mix well.
Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Place the steaks back into the skillet with the sauce and spoon some of the sauce over them.
Serve the steaks hot, with the sauce drizzled on top.

Notes

For a richer flavour, use homemade beef broth.

Adjust the amount of Smoky Chipotle Harissa to your spice preference.

Serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, to complement the rich sauce.
