Preheat oven to hottest temperature500 to 550 degrees. Grind white pepper
generously over entire surface of beef, then rub with oil & press in
rosemary. Melt butter in large, heavy skillet until smoking hot; add beef &
cook quickly, turning as needed, until dark brown all over. Transfer beef
to roasting pan and roast 12-15 minutes or until flesh yields readily when
pressed (for rare) or yields slightly (medium-rare). While meat roasts,
make sauce: Add shallots to butter & meat drippings remaining in skillet &
cook until lightly browned, then add broth, mustard, cream & green
peppercorns. Bring to a boil, boil until slightly reduced. Add brandy &
ignite. Continue to reduce sauce, stirring constantly. When beef is done,
sauce should be done. To serve, slice beef, drizzle sauce over center of
slices. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
