Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks, 6 oz each
- 2 tbsp whole black peppercorns
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Using a mortar and pestle, crush the black peppercorns until coarsely ground. Press the ground peppercorns onto both sides of each beef tenderloin steak, then sprinkle with 1 tsp of salt.

- Meanwhile, place the diced potatoes and minced garlic in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes and garlic together using a potato masher or fork. Stir in the heavy cream and butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the peppercorn crusted beef tenderloin steaks with a generous portion of garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
