Instructions
Coarsely crush peppercorns with a mortar and pestle or wrap in a kitchen towel and press on peppercorns with bottom of a heavy skillet.
Pat chops dry and season with salt. Rub one side of each chop with peppercorns, pressing peppercorns into meat to adhere.
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook chops, peppered sides up, 2 minutes. Turn chops over with tongs and cook, pressing down on each chop with side of tongs to help pepper adhere to meat, about 2 minutes more (for medium-rare).
Transfer chops with tongs to a plate and let stand while making sauce.
Pour off all but 2 teaspoons of fat from skillet if necessary, then sauté shallot, stirring, until golden brown, about 30 seconds.
Add broth and Cognac and boil until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and swirl in butter.
Add any meat juices that have accumulated on plate and season with salt.
