Cranberry chocolate truffles

30 minutes, plus 2 hours to set

Freerange steak with cognac and green pepper cream

Serves 2 to 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cooking Time 10-15 minutes

Ingredients

2 x 200 g free-range sirloin or rump steaks
Maldon sea salt
60 g butter
2 T Cognac or brandy
1 cup heavy cream
2 t green Madagascan peppercorns

Method

Season the meat with the salt. Heat a dry cast-iron or heavy pan until warm. Add a little butter to prevent the steaks from sticking then sear the meat on both sides for 5 minutes. Add the remaining butter and cook as desired.
When ready, drizzle with Cognac and remove from the heat. Allow to rest in the warm pan for 3 to 5 minutes. Combine the cream and pepper, and spoon over the warm steaks.
Cook’s note: The consistency of the heavy cream may vary, so your green-pepper cream may be runnier than that shown.
