About Au poivre sauce

Au Poivre Sauce is a classic French sauce known for its bold, peppery flavor. Traditionally made with cracked black or green peppercorns, heavy cream, cognac or brandy, and beef or veal stock, this rich and creamy condiment is often served with steak or other red meats. Its robust taste stems from the peppercorns, which add a spicy and aromatic punch to the creamy base. While the sauce's high-fat content from the cream can make it calorie-dense, its use of peppercorns offers potential health benefits, such as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Cognac or brandy contributes a depth of flavor but typically cooks down, leaving minimal alcohol content. Au Poivre Sauce embodies the indulgence of French cuisine, designed to elevate the flavors of hearty entrees, though moderation is recommended for those mindful of fat and calorie intake.
