To make the fillet with green peppercorns without butter, cut the beef tenderloin into 4 pieces 1 and tie each one with kitchen string 2 to obtain 4 medallions 3.
Pour the vegetable oil into a large pan 4 and heat it very well before placing the fillets 5. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes 6, turning them on both sides.
When they are well-sealed, deglaze with the brandy 7. Now you will need to flambé the fillets (being very careful). You can use a torch as we did 8 to evaporate all the alcohol content 9. You can also tilt the pan if you have a gas burner. Alternatively, you can skip this step and wait for the alcohol to evaporate without flambéing.
Once the alcohol has evaporated, you can pour in the cream 10, and add the green peppercorns which you have previously rinsed under running water 11. Finally, you can add the mustard 12.
Mix all the ingredients well and adjust the salt 13. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on high heat to thicken the sauce 14. Serve the fillets with green peppercorns without butter, topping with the sauce and, if desired, with roasted potatoes on the side 15!
