Use a mortar and pestle to grind the pepper, but don't overdo it (photo 1). Apply the ground pepper evenly on both sides of the beef, making sure to press hard for the seasoning to penetrate (photo 2). In a skillet, melt the butter or margarine (photo3). Cook the steak on both sides, season with salt, and then let it cook for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on your taste and the thickness of the cut (photo 4). Remove the steak and place it on a preheated plate or tray (photo 5). Pour off the pan drippings (photo 6)...and the brandy. Stir, adjust the seasoning according to your preferences, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes over low heat (photo 7). Pour the sauce over the steak and serve immediately on a preheated plate (photo 8). That's all there is to it! Bon appétit.
