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

Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the brandy and increase the heat to medium. Allow the brandy to simmer for 1 minute to cook off the alcohol.

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Add the crumbled Stilton cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 8
Stir in the green peppercorns, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
Step 9
Remove the sauce from the heat and serve immediately over steak, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
