PAN SEARED STRIP STEAK WITH GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE AND SALT-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the steaks: Heat 2 cast iron skillets large enough to hold 2 of the 4 pieces of beef until they begin to visibly smoke. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Shut the heat off underneath the skillet and use a pair of tongs to place the steaks in the pan 1 by 1 in a single layer. Turn the heat on under the skillet and brown the first side, 3 to 5 minutes. Try to resist the temptation to turn them over or move them as they cook.
• Turn the steaks on the second side and brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Arrange the steaks on a rack to "rest" while you make your sauce.
• Remove the excess grease from 1 of the pans that was used to cook the steaks and reserve the other pan for the potatoes. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the shallots and cook until they are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the green peppercorns and brandy and cook until the liquid reduces almost completely.
