Steaks
Rub crushed peppercorns over both sides of steaks. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. In an ungreased skillet, brown steaks on both sides over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium, add butter and garlic. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, turning steaks once. Add Worcestershire sauce and cook for 4 to 6 minutes longer, turning once, or until meat reaches desired doneness. Remove steaks and keep warm.

In a small mixing bowl, combine wine, mustard and sugar, stir to mix. Add to the pan. Stir to loosen browned bits. In a separate small mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and water, stir until smooth. Add cornstarch mixture to pan. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Notes

Kansas City Strip is a great steak with this recipe, basically same cut of meat as a New York steak.
