Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppercorn Mixture

    In a spice grinder, combine the whole black peppercorns, whole white peppercorns, and coarse sea salt. Grind until the mixture is coarsely blended.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Protein

    Rub the protein (beef tenderloin, chicken, or fish) with olive oil to coat it evenly. Then, spread the mustard over the entire surface.

  3. 3

    Coat with Peppercorns

    Sprinkle the ground peppercorn mixture over the mustard-coated protein, pressing it down gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Cook the Protein

    Cook the protein according to your preferred method: grilling, roasting, or pan-searing, until it reaches the desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Allow the protein to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your peppercorn crusted dish!
