Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Brandy
- 1 cup Beef or vegetable stock
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Stilton cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Green peppercorns (in brine), drained and lightly crushed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Add the chopped shallot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the brandy and increase the heat to medium. Allow the brandy to simmer for 1 minute to cook off the alcohol.
Add the stock and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the crumbled Stilton cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the green peppercorns, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
Remove the sauce from the heat and serve immediately over steak, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
