1/4 cup cracked black peppercorns
2 T extra virgin olive oil
3 T Dijon mustard
3 T green peppercorns
1 cup merlot wine
1/2 cup heavy cream

Coat the surface of tenderloins with the black peppercorns, pressing into the meat witha bit of pressure. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the filets in the skillet, turning once, to desired temperature, remove from pan to a serving platter. Add the mustard, green peppercorns and merlot to the skillet, reduce slightly. Add the cream and reduce until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Pour sauce over tenderloins and serve immediately.
