Tips: You may use any tender grilling type steak like top sirloin or tenderloin instead of striploin. For a slightly sweeter sauce use a liquor like brandy or rum.

ingredients
directions
Add oil to a pre-heated large heavy bottom oven proof skillet. Brown steaks on both sides over medium-high heat and then transfer skillet to a 375°F (190°C) oven. Cook until just below desired doneness, set steaks aside and cover.
While the steaks are resting, discard all but 1 tsp of oil from the pan and place over medium-high heat. Add peppercorns, mustard, and shallots to pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Add whisky to pan to deglaze, scraping any browned bits from pan, and simmer until the pan is almost dry. Add beef stock and simmer over high heat until sauce is reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in cream stock and reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and has a velvety texture. Stir in chopped tarragon and pour over steaks.
