Ingredients

• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Cognac or brandy
• 2 tablespoons Black peppercorns
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Beef or chicken stock

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Crush the black peppercorns gently with a mortar and pestle or wrap them in a kitchen towel and crush them with a rolling pin, just enough to crack them. You want coarsely ground pieces but not a fine powder.

Step 2

Step 2: In a medium-sized pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the crushed peppercorns and toast them for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 3

Step 3: Carefully add the cognac or brandy to the pan. If you're using a gas stove, you might need to tilt the pan slightly to ignite the alcohol vapors, or use a match to flambé and cook off the alcohol. Let it burn off for a few seconds until the flames subside.

Step 4

Step 4: Add the beef or chicken stock to the pan. Stir and let it simmer for about 4-5 minutes until it reduces by half.

Step 5

Step 5: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Add salt to taste.

Step 6

Step 6: Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency, remove from heat. Serve immediately over grilled steak or chicken, and enjoy the rich, peppery goodness!
