Prepare the Steak:
Bring steaks to room temperature and season generously with salt and pepper.

Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, and sauté until softened.
Stir in the beef broth and scrape any browned bits from the pan. Let it reduce slightly.
Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and crushed peppercorns. Stir until thickened.
Assemble:
Return the steaks to the skillet to coat them in the sauce briefly.
Serve:
Plate the steaks, spoon the creamy peppercorn sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Enjoy this luxurious and flavorful dish with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes!
