Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Shallots
- 1 cup Brandy
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Coarsely crush the black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. The goal is to have some large chunks for texture.
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is fully melted.
Add the chopped shallots to the pan and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully pour in the brandy, and if desired, flambé the mixture to burn off the alcohol. Allow it to simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the beef stock and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Stir in the crushed black peppercorns and heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Season with salt, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the sauce hot over your favorite grilled steaks or roasted chicken.
