"This is posted from a request, and I found it on another web site. If you cannot find the pickled peppercorns, someone that made the recipe (Scrivener1) used capers."

ingredients

  • 4 (8 -10 ounce) filet of beef
  • 14 cup brandy
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 14 cup unsalted butter
  • 12 cup heavy cream (I'm sure you could use half-n-half also)
  • 4 tablespoons green pickled peppercorns (you can also use pink peppercorns or capers if you want, or a mixture)
  • salt and pepper

directions

  • Begin by coarsely grinding three tablespoons of the peppercorns, ideally in a mortar, though a blender will work.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter, and sear the filets on both sides, then reduce the flame and cook them until they reach the stage of doneness you prefer, at the most 10 minutes in all.
  • Remove them to a heated platter.
  • Pour the brandy into the pan, light it, and gently stir until the flames have gone out. At this point stir in the cream (add it slowly) and the peppercorns, season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper, and spoon it over the filets.

Hello! I am a resident of WA state, and I must say I love it here.... especially where coffee flows so freely! I live with my SO, Mark, and he has lived here since 2001 (originally from San Diego, CA). We live a quiet life and enjoy just about anything outdoors. I love to travel... sometimes just to pick a spot on the map and make a weekend out of it. Since I have been here, some of my favorite places to visit are Oregon and Washington (Cle Elum, Leavenworth, Spokane, Bonney Lake, Maple Valley, Issaquah, etc). My favorite place in Seattle is Pike Place Market, even though I don't get there often. And, Mt. Rainier is a scene I often photograph. <img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u158/VickyJ_photo/rainier.jpg"> Originally, I am from Jamestown, NY home of <img src="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/CLASS/130-120~Lucille-Ball-Posters.jpg"><img src="http://maioush.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/lucille-ball-8553.jpg"> She is loved by all that live there and the surrounding areas! Another famous person that is from the area is Natalie Merchant and former lead singer of the 10,000 Maniacs (rock band). <img src="http://photo.sing365.com/music/picture.nsf/Natalie-Merchant-photo/48256C71003578A248256926002F4F75/$file/natalie.jpg"> I think that is about it for famous people. There was a question posted in one of the forums about who I would love to have for dinner, right now. I answered God, Jesus, my mom, Grandma Lundin, Grandpa Lundin and Aunt Sig. They are my role models in life. Each has molded me into the person I am now. My fondest memories are spending Thanksgiving and Christmas-time at my Grandma's house, and the whole family around. SO MUCH good food! I lived in that small city my whole life and graduated from high school just outside of town. I have a strong restaurant background.. everything from Pizza Hut to a local italian restaurant called Vullo's. It seems, though, I have a passion for machining technology, even though I didn't go to school for that. I grew up with a local manufacturer of machine/tooling systems soldering/wiring circuit bds and assembling whole systems. That wasn't enough for me so, I went to college and obtained my AAS in Electrical Technology. The same company hired me back to work in their service dept as a technician. I had planned to go further to become an electromechanical engineer for the company, but I was laid off. I have been out of it so long, I would probably have to start over from scratch.. .that is the problem with electronics/technology.
