Does anyone have a good recipie for Peppercorn sauce ??

Question

My hubby loves a steak with peppercorn sauce , he eats it each time we are out , but i can`t find a good creamy recipie . help !

Answer 1

My husband (Ex chef) suggests making a simple gravy, preferably with some steak juices and red wine, sweat some finely chopped onions in it, along with a good handful of mixed peppercorns. Once its been bubbling for 10 minutes stir in some double cream slowly and heat for 5 minutes more. Its beautiful. He also does one where he makes a white sauce with peppercorns added at the same stage as the milk, some cream cheese and double cream. I prefer the first one though.

Answer 2

I'm with the folks for deglazing the pan with red wine, adding creme fraiche to taste (or cream) but I use soft green peppercorns in the sauce. Often put crushed peppercorns on the stak while cooking but I think the soft green are better in the sauce.

Answer 3

Press peppercorns onto the steak and grill or fry your steak, deglaze the pan with a glass of red wine and let it reduce a little. Add a couple of tablespoons of creme fraiche (lighter and lower in fat than cream) and cook a few minutes - serve. Sorry the quantities are a little vague - this is how I do it

Answer 4

Heres a quick one that I use on steak:

INGREDIENTS:
1 can (14 oz.) ready-to-serve beef broth
1 Tbsp. cornstarch, dissolved in 1 Tbsp. cold water
1 small bay leaf
1/8 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/4 tsp. black peppercorns, coarsely crushed

DIRECTIONS:
In saucepan, combine broth and cornstarch mixture, stirring to blend. Bring to a boil; cook until slightly thickened.
Stir in bay leaf and thyme; cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until sauce is reduced to about 1 cup.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in wine and peppercorns; simmer 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve warm.

This one is god when tossed with some Asiago Cheese and pasta or you can put it on pork chops and or lamb chops

INGREDIENTS
1 whole head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground mixed peppercorns
1 pinch ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Slice off the top third of the head of garlic so the tips of the cloves are exposed. Place in a small baking dish, and add just enough water to cover the bottom of the dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the garlic, then cover with a lid or foil. Bake for 45 minutes.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix together the flour and milk so there are no lumps, and pour into the pan with the butter. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes. Squeeze the garlic cloves from their skin, and mash. Stir garlic into the sauce, and season with salt, peppercorns, and nutmeg.

Answer 5

Melt the butter and fry the onions until translucent. Add peppercorns and mustard. Warm brandy in a separate small pot, ignite and pour over the onion mix. Boil the sauce until reduced to one third. Lower the heat, add the cream, parsley and salt and simmer until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste before serving.
