Instructions

1.	Coarsely grind the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle.
2.	Rub both sides of the beef tenderloins with garlic. Sprinkle salt evenly on both sides and press to adhere it to the beef.

4.	Reduce heat to medium. Add the beef broth and any accumulated beef juices to the skillet and simmer until reduced by half.
5.	Turn off the heat and whisk in the sour cream and ground peppercorns. Serve the steaks with the sauce on top.
