Black Peppercorns You can also use green peppercorns for a milder flavourCream Always use double (heavy) cream rather than single or light cream to ensure a luscious sauce that won’t split.Brandy Any brandy, cognac or marsala will be fine, but if you don’t want to use alcohol, then you can leave it out or add an extra spoonful of Worcestershire sauce.Stock We used beef stock but any good strong stock will work.Shallots You can also use brown or white onions, chopped finely.
👩‍🍳PRO TIP Although it sounds like a lot of pepper, the flavour of the pepper cooks out and becomes milder. You may even want to add MORE pepper. Simply taste the finished sauce and stir in more freshly ground pepper to taste, before serving We like lots of peppercorns in our sauce, and although it does seem like a lot, the harshness of the pepper cooks out and becomes milder. I love chips dipped in this peppercorn sauce, very decadent and delicious, and oh so moreish, a guilty pleasure that’s for sure. Do you like to serve yours with anything other than steak? I’d love to hear in the comments. Peppercorn sauce poured over a perfectly seared steak is the stuff of dreams, it just needs some of my homemade oven chips and I really am in heaven Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe.
