An easy pepper steak recipe from the Beef Industry Council. Ready in 20 minutes.
 
Ingredients
  1  lb Top sirloin steak; cut 1"  
    - thick, boneless  
  2  tb Black peppercorns; crushed  
  3  tb Butter; or margarine;  
    - divided  
  1/4  c Shallots; or onion, minced  
  1/2  ts Hot pepper sauce  
  3  tb Gin  
 
Instructions
 
  Preparation time: 20 minutes

 
  1. Cut steak into 4 equal portions, and press the peppercorns evenly into both sides. Heat 1 1/2 tb. butter in a large skillet over medium heat until bubbly. Cook steaks 10 to 12 minutes for rare (140 degrees) or to desired doneness, turning once. Remove to a warm platter.

  3. Serving suggestions: Steamed fresh baby carrots and sugar snap peas. (If Denise is coming to dinner, skip the peas!)
