Annabel Langbein


INGREDIENTS

4 thick cut (4cm) eye fillet beef steaks
salt and ground black pepper
4 tsp butter
¼ cup port
2 heaped tbsp green peppercorns
250g Essential Cuisine Beef Jus


METHOD

Tie a piece of string around the circumference of each steak to hold them tight. Season steaks with salt and pepper and place a tsp of butter on each steak.

Preheat a heavy frypan over high heat. Place steaks in pan butter side down and brown well for a minute on each side. Remove from pan and transfer to a shallow baking tray, lined with baking paper.

Return the pan used for browning the steaks to the heat without cleaning. Add the port and stir to deglaze the pan brownings. Add the green peppercorns and Essential Cuisine Beef Jus. Bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasonings. Sauce can be reheated as needed.

When ready to serve, heat oven to 220°C and roast steaks for 7 minutes, or until done to your liking. Stand for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Accompany steaks with hot green peppercorn sauce and serve with mashed potato and lightly cooked green vegetables.
