Ingredients:

  • 200 ml heavy cream (cooking cream)

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns (lightly crushed)

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

  • 50 ml brandy or cognac

  • Salt to taste

Step-by-step preparation:

  1. Prepare the base:
    Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat.

  2. Toast the peppercorns:
    Add the crushed black peppercorns and toast for 1-2 minutes to release their aroma.

  3. Flambé with brandy:
    Add the brandy or cognac and let the alcohol evaporate (about 1 minute). You can flambé carefully to intensify the flavor.

  4. Add the cream:
    Pour in the cream and stir gently to blend the flavors.

  5. Season:
    Add salt and ground black pepper. For extra flavor, add Dijon mustard.

  6. Cook until thickened:
    Let the sauce reduce over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your liking.

Tips for a perfect sauce:

  • For a milder sauce, reduce the amount of peppercorns.

  • You can substitute brandy with beef broth if you prefer no alcohol.

  • Ideal for sirloin with peppercorn sauce, ribeye, grilled chicken, or pasta.
