In a measuring cup, combine beef stock, gin, vinegar and juniper berries.
Set aside. Brush or rub steaks with vegetable oil. Press pepper onto the
steaks and season with salt.  Heat a medium-sized cast-iron or heavy
skillet over high heat until nearly smoking. Place steaks in the heated pan
and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until browned on the outside but
still pink inside.  Transfer steaks to a plate and keep warm. Reduce the
heat under the skillet to medium and add the reserved stock mixture to the
pan. Cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan,
until reduced slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the steaks on individual
