Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare Steak: Coat the steak heavily with cracked black pepper and Mediterranean sea salt.
- Pan Sear Steak: Heat olive oil in a stainless steel pan over high heat until it reaches 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the steak to the pan without moving it for 2-3 minutes, then flip and sear the other side.
- Oven Roast: Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast for 4-5 minutes or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130-135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare).
- Make Sauce: Remove steak and let it rest. Deglaze the pan with cognac, add beef stock, and reduce slightly. Add a touch of cream and green peppercorns soaked in cognac. Finish the sauce by whisking in butter off the heat.
- Prepare Green Beans: Sauté blanched green beans in butter, season with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Serve the steak with the cognac cream sauce, gratin potatoes, and buttered green beans.
