My wife and I both love spicy foods. This steak with peppercorn sauce is one of her favorite dishes. I have been cooking it as a treat on her birthday for years.

Ingredients

2 to 3 tablespoons whole black peppercorns, crushed

1-1/2 teaspoons white pepper

4 boneless beef top loin steaks (12 ounces each)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

1/4 cup half-and-half cream

Instructions

1 Combine peppercorns and pepper; rub over both sides of steaks. Chill for 1 hour.

2 Sprinkle salt in a large skillet; heat on high until salt begins to brown. Add steaks and brown on both sides. Add butter; reduce heat to medium-high. Cook steaks 1-2 minutes on each side.

3 Add Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce; cook until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 2-3 minutes longer. Remove steaks and keep warm. Add cream to the skillet; cook and stir until smooth. Serve with steaks.
