Critical Success Points

  • Sear the steak over high heat without moving it during the first minutes
  • Flambé the cognac carefully
  • Reduce the sauce until a proper glossy consistency
  • Let the steak rest before slicing
  • Achieve a smooth purée by incorporating warm butter

Safety Warnings

  • Flambéing the cognac must be done away from the face and on a stable surface.
  • Very hot oil can splatter: use kitchen gloves and a lid if necessary.
  • Handle knives carefully when cutting the steaks.
