Steps

  • 1
    Melt 1 tablespoon of the margarine in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook beef in margarine about 14 minutes, turning once, until brown. Remove beef from skillet.

    Cook and drain fettuccines as directed on package. Toss fettuccines and remaining 1 tablespoon margarine.

    Mix whipping cream, mustard, ground and whole peppercorns in same skillet. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping any brown bits from bottom of skillet, until thickened.

  • Come and Eat! A medley of oven-roasted vegetables such as carrots, red potatoes and green beans would be a nice accompaniment to this elegant yet hearty dinner.
  • To grind peppercorns, place them in a plastic bag, seal the bag and pound on a hard surface with a rolling pin, or grind peppercorns in a food processor, using short on-and-off motions.
