PORK CHOP FILET WITH PEPPERCORN AND BRANDY CREAM SAUCE
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS
• 4, 6- to 8-ounce Pork chop Filet (each about 1 inch thick)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chopped shallots
• 1-3/4 cups beef stock or canned beef broth
• 5 tablespoons Cognac or brandy
• 2 tablespoons drained green peppercorns in brine or 1 tablespoon of dry black peppercorns crushed
• 3 tablespoons butter

PREPARATION
1. Boil stock in small saucepan until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 7 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Cook pork chops to desired doneness. Transfer pork chops to plate (do not clean skillet).
3. Add chopped shallots and the peppercorns to the same skillet and sauté 2 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat. Add 2 tablespoon of the cognac and flambé the cognac, allowing the alcohol to burn off.
