Instructions

In a large skillet with plenty of room for the beef strips to brown without crowding (work in batches if necessary), heat half the butter over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides and the butter is very hot, add the beef strips in a single layer. The pan should be hot enough to brown the beef quickly, but not hot enough to burn the butter. Turn once to brown the other side, then season well with salt and pepper.

Add a few tablespoon of water and the brandy or coganc (if using) to deglaze the pan (gently scape up any browned bits).
