    Sear in butter and oil over medium-high heat until a deep mahogany crust forms on every face.

  3. 3

    Lower the heat, add Garlic and Black Peppercorns, and cook until translucent and sweet, stirring in the pan juices.

  4. 4

    Add the herbs and wine, simmer to deglaze, and reduce until sharply aromatic.

    Rest the meat, reduce the sauce to a glaze, mount with butter, and serve with the sauce poured around, not over.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the black peppercorns in the oil before adding anything wet.
