Ingredients:

• 1 piece of 500 grams rump steak
• 4 tbsp. Cognac
• 1 tablespoon tablespoons olive oil
• 40 grams butter
• 1 tablespoon green peppercorns
• Salt

Preparations:

1. Start by grilling the rump steaks. Pour the olive oil into a pan and heat it up. Then place the rump steaks. 
2. Fry them for 3 minutes on each side to obtain rare cooking. Remove the steaks from the pan and set them aside on a plate covered with aluminum foil.
3. In a pestle, coarsely crush the green peppercorns. Deglaze the pan with the cognac. Add the veal stock and the crushed green pepper. Mix while bringing slightly to a boil. Then lower the heat. Salt to your taste.
4. Arrange the cut rump steaks on each plate and cover them with the pepper sauce.
5. Accompany the beef steaks with pan-fried carrots, mushrooms, fries or fresh pasta.

Tips

Pepper sauce is often made with green peppercorns. But you can just as well use black, white, pink pepper or a mixture, according to your preference. Choose the beef doneness that suits you best. Allow minutes per side for a blue steak, 3 minutes for rare cooking and 5 minutes for medium-rare meat.
