Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp black peppercorns, crushed
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Set a small pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely without browning.
  2. Add Ingredients: Once the butter is melted, stir in the beef stock, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, crushed black peppercorns, and salt to the pan.
  3. Simmer Sauce: Frequently stir the mixture, letting it simmer gently for 5-10 minutes. Continue until the sauce thickens enough to cling to the back of a spoon without dripping off quickly.
  4. Serve: Remove the pan from heat and immediately pour the creamy peppercorn sauce over your dish or transfer it to a serving bowl.

Notes

  • For a smoother sauce, you can strain out the crushed peppercorns before serving if preferred.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a splash of additional beef stock or cream.
  • This sauce pairs excellently with grilled or pan-seared steaks, roasted pork, or even mashed potatoes.
  • Use freshly crushed peppercorns for the best aroma and flavor impact.
