2 bnls sirloin shell steaks, (each about 1' thick)

This dish is a classic of French cuisine as well one of the perks of a
controlled carbohydrate diet. The combination of peppercorns, Cognac, and
cream is simple and sophisticated.

steaks in an even layer.

2. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
Cook steaks 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove steaks from the
skillet and keep warm.

3. Add cream, ketchup, Cognac, and salt to skillet. Bring to a boil,
stirring, loosening any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Lower heat and
simmer the sauce for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour sauce over
steaks and serve immediately.

To crush peppercorns, place the peppercorns in a plastic bag and flatten
them with a rolling pin or the flat side of a knife.

I used to spend whole days without food and whole nights without sleep in order to meditate. But I made no progress. Study, I found, was better.
