Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Combine Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine the beef stock, red wine, and shallots. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

2

Reduce to Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, approximately 30 minutes.

3

Add Peppercorns

Add the crushed black peppercorns to the saucepan and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.

4

Strain the Sauce

Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into another saucepan to remove the solids.

5

Finish the Sauce

Return the strained liquid to the heat and whisk in the butter until melted and the sauce is glossy. Season with salt to taste.
