Peppercorn Sauce

Yield: Approximately 1 cup of sauce

 

Ingredients:

 

  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, crushed 
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 small shallots, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, finely diced
  • ¾ cup (180ml) beef stock
  • ¾ cup (180ml) double cream (heavy cream) at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, to taste

 

    Instructions: 

 

  1. Prepare the Pan: If you've just cooked steak, keep the pan with its juices; otherwise, melt the butter over medium heat.​
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the finely diced shallots to the pan and cook until they become soft and golden. Stir in the garlic and crushed peppercorns, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.​
  3. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the beef stock, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.​
  4. Add Cream and Finish: Pour in the double cream, stirring continuously to combine. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the sauce warm over steak, chicken, or vegetables.
