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
Directions
Step 1
Coarsely crush the black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. The goal is to have some large chunks for texture.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is fully melted.
Step 3
Add the chopped shallots to the pan and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Add the beef stock and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Season with salt, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Serve the sauce hot over your favorite grilled steaks or roasted chicken.
