Ingredients  

  • filet of steak at room temperature
  • quarter of a cup of triple pepper mix
  • salt
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • red wine

Instructions 

  • Heat up a grill pan on medium-high heat. While it heats up, season the steak well with plenty of salt and the triple pepper mix. Press the crushed peppercorns into the steak on both sides.
  • Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan, then add the steak. Let the steak cook for about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Baste with butter in the pan.
  • Remove steaks and let them rest before cutting and/or serving. While the meat is resting, make the pan sauce: deglaze the pan with red wine and add remaining butter into the pan to emulsify the sauce. Serve over steak.
