Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Whole Black Peppercorns, crushed
  • 1 cup / 250ml Double Cream
  • 1/2 cup / 125ml Beef Stock
  • 2 Small Shallots, finely diced
  • 1 Clove Garlic, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat Butter: Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat to create a base for sautéing the aromatics.
  2. Sauté Shallots: Add the finely diced shallots and cook until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes, releasing their sweetness into the butter.
  3. Add Garlic and Peppercorns: Stir in the finely diced garlic and crushed whole black peppercorns, frying for an additional minute to release their flavors.
  4. Add Worcestershire Sauce and Beef Stock: Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and beef stock, then bring to a simmer for 1 minute to meld the savory tastes.
  5. Incorporate Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the double cream, carefully blending it into the sauce.
  6. Simmer to Thicken: Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a smooth consistency, about 8-12 minutes.
  7. Season: Add salt to taste and, if available, fold in meat juices to enhance the flavor.
  8. Serve: Serve the sauce warm as a delicious complement to your favorite cuts of meat.

Notes

  • Crushing the peppercorns just before cooking releases maximum flavor and freshness.
  • Simmering the sauce gently is key to preventing the cream from curdling.
  • Adding meat juices from resting steaks intensifies the sauce’s meaty richness.
  • This sauce pairs excellently with grilled or pan-fried steaks, roast beef, or even pork chops.
