Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Shallot
- 60 milliliters Cognac or brandy
- 120 milliliters Beef or chicken broth
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Coarsely crush the black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or by placing them in a sealed bag and using a rolling pin.
Finely mince the shallot.
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat.
Add the minced shallot to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the crushed peppercorns to the pan and stir for about 1 minute to release their flavor.
Carefully add the cognac or brandy, allowing it to simmer for 1-2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
Pour in the beef or chicken broth and let the mixture simmer for another 3-4 minutes until it reduces slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Season with salt and stir in the butter to give the sauce a silky finish.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately over your choice of grilled meats or vegetables.
