1 Heat a large, thick-bottomed frying pan.
2 Make a paste by crumbling half the Knorr Stock Cube with the oil and black peppercorns and spread evenly over both sides of the meat.
3 Fry steaks on high heat for about 2 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned and medium-rare. Remove to a plate.
4 Add the Worcestershire sauce, brandy, water and remaining Knorr Stock Cube into the hot pan and boil over a high heat until it reduces down by one third. Add the Elmlea and green peppercorns and bring back to the boil.
5 Put the steaks back into the pan, letting them heat in the boiling sauce for a few seconds, then remove from the heat and serve. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
