Sauce Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppercorns

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the black peppercorns for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Shallots

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Bourbon

    Carefully pour in the Maker's Mark Bourbon and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, and toasted black peppercorns. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt to taste. If desired, adjust the consistency with a bit more cream or water.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm over your favorite steak or dish.
