Any recipes for nice yet simple black pepper sauce for steaks...Without using wine.?

Answer 1

Just replace the wine called for in your recipe with beef stock/broth or water. Alton Brown has a great recipe that contains cognac, but you could substitute broth, stock or water in that recipe as well.

Answer 2

An easy pick would be a bigger California chardonnay. Look for one that has a little oak and a buttery finish. If chardonnays are not to your taste, you can go as light is a Washington state Gewürztraminer, which would bring out the flavors of pepper and lemon, but cut through the butter. However, do not go any sweeter than that. Avoid anything made from the muscat grape. Those are fine for dessert, but not with the meal. If you like reds, try a pinot noir or merlot. Both should go fine, but will enhance any fish flavors, good and bad. I wouldn't recommend them if you're working with frozen fish. Never pair reds with shellfish or mollusks.

Answer 3

If you want nice yet simple black pepper sauce for steaks, just pop down to any NTUC or supermarket and get yourself a Lee Kum Kee Black Pepper ready-made sauce. It's good.

Answer 4

this might seem like a copout, but I've started using those McCormick premixed spice packs for grilling. You just mix them w/a little water and oil and they are awesome for less expensive cuts of meat, chicken or pork. But I don't mess w/ribeye or NY strip, those stand alone.

Answer 5
