Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tbsp mixed peppercorns -- crushed
4 4oz beef tenderloin steaks -- 1 inch thick
cooking spray
1/2 c fat-free beef broth
1/2 c brandy
1/3 c low-fat sour cream
1/4 tsp salt

Press pepper into both sides of steaks. Coat a large nonstick skillet
with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add
steaks; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Reduce heat to
medium-low; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of
doneness. Remove steaks from skillet; set aside and keep warm.

Add broth and brandy to skillet; bring to a boil, scraping skillet to
loosen browned bits. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 2 minutes or
until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat, and stir in sour
cream and salt with a whisk. Spoon 3 tbsp sauce over each steak.
