Preheat a large grill pan with high sides over high heat.
Using a Bump and Grind or another mortar and pestle, coarsely crush the peppercorns.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and sprinkle the coarsely crushed peppercorns over both sides of the steaks, patting to adhere.
Using a sharp knife, score the fat that runs down the long side of the steaks.
Place the steaks, fat side down, on the grill pan and cook until the fat is golden brown and partially rendered, about 3 minutes. If your pan is not large enough to fit all four steaks without crowding them, cook 2 steaks at a time.
Grill both meaty sides of the steaks until cooked to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
Add the wine to the pan and simmer 30 seconds.
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest. Continue simmering the wine until it is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the sprouts in a large pot of boiling salted water until bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain the Brussels sprouts and transfer them to a large bowl of ice water. When cool remove the Brussels sprouts from the cold water, drain well, and cut them in half lengthwise.
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until it is golden brown about 2 minutes. Add the sprouts and increase the heat to high. Sauté until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
To serve, place the Brussels sprouts on plates.
Slice the steaks diagonally across the grain and arrange the steak slices alongside the Brussels sprouts. Spoon the pan juices over the steaks and serve.

08/17/09 06:42 PM | Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Curtis, this is one of the best! I was looking for a recipe that was different, simple & yet had a gourmet twist. This was fantastic just as you made it. No variations at all. For those who think that the sprouts had no taste, well I simply put a bit of the wine sauce over them. It was GREAT!!!!! |

02/21/09 09:57 AM | why does everybody think fancier is better?What a waste of good beef. Tenderize it, Marinate it in Worcestershire with a sprinkling of garlic and chili powder for a couple of hours. Then sear it on the grill, hot as hell for 60 seconds on each side.To finish, cook it slow, slow, slow...you can't beat how it melts in your mouth with that. Quit trying to fix something that isn't broken. |
