Coarsely crush the black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or a pepper grinder. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter.
Add the shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the crushed black peppercorns, allowing them to cook for 1 minute to release their fragrance.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut cream, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, and salt.
Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
Serve the Vegan Sauce au Poivre over grilled vegetables, tofu, or your favorite vegan protein.
