A creamy and flavorful Peppercorn Sauce that combines the bold heat of crushed black peppercorns with rich butter, cream, and savory beef stock. Perfect for elevating steaks, roasts, or grilled meats with its smooth texture and zesty mustard undertones.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp black peppercorns, crushed
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce base: Set a small pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt fully, ensuring it does not brown or burn for a clean flavor base.
  2. Add ingredients: Stir in the beef stock, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, crushed black peppercorns, and salt into the melted butter, mixing well to combine all the flavors uniformly.
  3. Simmer the sauce: Allow the sauce to gently simmer over medium heat, stirring often to prevent sticking. Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce thickens considerably.
  4. Check consistency: When the sauce clings nicely to the back of a spoon without dripping off, it has reached the desired thickness and is ready to be removed from heat.
  5. Serve: Pour the prepared peppercorn sauce directly over your cooked meat dish, such as steak or roast, or transfer it to a small serving bowl for dipping.

Notes

  • For a milder pepper flavor, lightly toast the peppercorns before crushing.
  • You can substitute beef stock with vegetable stock for a lighter version, but the flavor will be less robust.
  • Adjust cream quantity to alter the sauce richness.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and taste, though the sauce can be gently reheated.
  • Use freshly crushed peppercorns for enhanced aroma and flavor.
