Beef Tenderloin with Three Peppercorn Sauce
12 (3 oz.) beef tenderloin steaks
1 tsp. black peppercorns, crushed
2 oz. mushrooms, sliced
2 oz. Scotch whiskey
1 tsp. green peppercorns, crushed
1 tsp. parsley, chopped
2 oz. brandy
1 tsp. pink peppercorns, crushed
1 tsp. pimentos, chopped
4 oz heavy cream
In a skillet, saute each steak until browned. Place 3 steaks each on 4 dinner plates, keep warm.
To the same skillet, add the black peppercorns, mushrooms and whiskey, bring to a quick boil (being careful not to ignite the whiskey). Pour the mushroom sauce over the steaks on the left of each plate.
Add the green peppercorns, parsley, and brandy to the skillet, bring to a quick boil and pour over the steaks on the right. Add the pink peppercorns, chopped pimentos, and heavy cream to the skillet, cook to reduce until thick. Pour this sauce over the middle steaks.
