I had wanted to make steak au poivre with brandy cream sauce, but the steak at the grocery store didn\u2019t look so hot and the pork chops were on sale. And then I didn\u2019t have brandy, but I did have whiskey and thought it might make a good substitute. So I amalgamated a couple of recipes from\u00a0<em>America\u2019s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook<\/em>, made a few other tweaks, and voila!
