How to Make Pepper Rib Steak Flambe

In a small bowl, combine 4 cloves minced garlic and 2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper.
Evenly distribute the garlic-pepper mixture to both sides of your rib steaks (about 1 inch thick), pressing gently with the back of a tablespoon to help the seasoning adhere.
Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your BBQ grill to high heat (around 500°F).
Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
Remove steaks from the grill and let them rest on a plate for 2 minutes.
Season with salt to taste.
In a small saucepan, carefully heat 1/4 cup brandy over medium heat. (Always be cautious when working with open flames).
Using caution, ignite the brandy (a long lighter is helpful) and immediately pour over the steaks. Allow the flames to burn out completely.
Serve your Pepper Rib Steak Flambe immediately, alongside a refreshing Caesar salad.
