2 servings
- 2 new york strip steaks (about 10–12 oz each, 1 to 1 ¼ inches thick)
- 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp whole black peppercorns, coarsely cracked
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or grapeseed)
For the sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 2 medium shallots, finely minced
- ⅓ cup cognac or brandy
- ¾ cup beef broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the steaks completely dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with the kosher salt. Spread the cracked peppercorns on a plate and press each steak firmly into the pepper on both sides, coating the surface in an even crust. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast iron or heavy stainless skillet over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Add the steaks and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until a deep mahogany crust forms on the underside and the steak releases easily from the pan.
