Peppercorn Crusted Steak with Brandy Cream Sauce

The peppercorn crust on the steak provides extra flavor and texture. To make the peppercorn crust, you simply smash up your own peppercorns (we prefer to use a combo of white, black, pink, and green) in a zip-top bag with a mallet or rolling pin, as opposed to using a spice grinder, for a coarser texture. Note: Brandy is not included in the grocery list. Please purchase it separately.
