--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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.
