Get you a steak. Beef, venison, lamb or pretty much any meat will work, although I have only.made it with red meats. Get you some black peppercorns and crush them so you have nice cracked black pepper. Salt your steak, then roll it in the pepper, you want it fairly coated. Get some fat smoking in a pan. Set your steak in the pan and dont touch for 5 minutes. Flip for 5 minutes. (Or a little longer for more well steak). Pour a shot of brandy or cognac, turn off the flame, throw the booze in the pan, and light it with a lighter. Scrape the bottom of the pan. Add a half cup of cream and turn the heat back on to medium. Stir until thickened like you want it. Pour the sauce on the steak and eat it.
