Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Black peppercorns, crushed
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Cognac or brandy
- 3 cups Gluten-free beef stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by crushing the peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin until coarse. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic to the melted butter. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the shallots are tender and translucent.
Carefully add the cognac or brandy to the saucepan. Allow it to simmer and reduce by half, stirring occasionally. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Once reduced, pour in the gluten-free beef stock and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes for flavors to blend.
Stir in the crushed peppercorns and heavy cream, mixing until well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, stirring constantly until the sauce begins to thicken.
Season with salt according to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Once the sauce has reached the desired consistency, remove from heat. Serve the creamy peppercorn sauce immediately over your choice of steak, chicken, or roasted vegetables.
