 * 5) Preheat the oven to 250 degrees f.
 * 6) Place a large, well-seasoned, cash-iron skillet over high heat until very hot (it should smoke).

 * 8) Add the oil to the skillet and quickly sear the meat on both sides.
 * 9) Add the brandy to the hot skillet.
 * 10) Flame the meat by touching the brandy with a lighted match and let the flames burn down. (keep a large piece of foil or a skillet lid nearby in case the flames rise too high. Just cover them until they subside.)
