Peppercorn-Encrusted Elegance is a delectable dish that is perfect for any special occasion. This dish is a combination of succulent beef tenderloin, coated with a flavorful peppercorn crust that is sure to tantalize your taste buds.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns, crushed
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix together the crushed peppercorns and kosher salt. Rub the mixture onto both sides of the beef tenderloin steaks, pressing the mixture into the meat to ensure it sticks.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until a crust forms. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired level of doneness.
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate to rest. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the broth has reduced by half.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Serve the steaks with the sauce spooned over the top.

The peppercorn crust adds a bold, spicy flavor to the tender beef, while the creamy sauce balances out the heat with a rich, velvety texture.
