Steps:

• For the roast:.
• Heat one side of the grill to high; leave the other side unlit.
• Season the roast with salt and garlic powder on all sides, then press top and bottom into cracked black pepper.
• Grill roast over direct heat for 5 minutes, then turn roast over and grill 5 minutes more. Transfer beef to the unlit side of grill and roast to an internal temperature of 140 degrees, 30-40 more minutes, turning every ten minutes. Remove roast from grill and let it rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
• For the Sauce:.
• Saute shallots in 1 teaspoon butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, until beginning to brown, 1-2 minutes.
• Combine 1 tablespoon butter, Dijon and flour in a small bowl; set aside.
• Add Port and broth to shallots. Bring to a boil and reduce to 1/2 cup, 10-12 minutes. Strain and discard shallots; return liquid to pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk butter-flour mixture into sauce and simmer until thickened, 1 minute. Finish with vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• For the steaks: Sprinkle both sides of the steak with lemon pepper, seasoned salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side over high heat, and then a further 3 to 5 minutes over lower heat. Brush with melted butter as they cook.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Start by crushing the peppercorns with a rolling pin in a zip-top bag and set them aside.
• Next, heat a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Crumble in the beef bouillon cube. Whisk to combine. Then add the Dijon mustard to the skillet and whisk it around a bit. Pour in the brandy. Whisk the Dijon and brandy together until combined, and then let it bubble for about 45 seconds or so. Then pour in the heavy cream and the crushed peppercorns. Whisk it all together, allowing it to bubble for a few minutes to thicken. Spoon it over the grilled steaks.

Rub beef all over with oil; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cracked peppercorns, pressing to adhere. Return beef to rack on baking sheet and roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 125°F for medium-rare (135°F to 140°F in thinnest part), about 30 minutes. Remove roast from oven and let rest 15 minutes.
