• teaspoons peppercorns↗2
• tablespoon olive oil↗1
• steaks↗2
• ml red wine↗100
• teaspoon garlic powder↗1⁄2
• teaspoon rosemary↗1⁄2
• teaspoon thyme↗1⁄2

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Mix the crushed peppercorns with the olive oil. Pour the mixture on to a dinner plate and rub into both sides of the steaks. Leave to marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

2. 2

   Heat a frying pan or a griddle until hot and cook the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side (for rare), or longer on all sides and cooked to your liking. Remove the steaks and set aside in a warm place.

3. 3

   Add the wine, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan and stir well, scraping up any browned bit from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the volume of liquid has reduced, and you have a thick sauce and pour over the steaks.
