Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppercorns

    Coarsely crush the black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy pan.

  2. 2

    Sauté Shallots and Garlic

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Peppercorns and Broth

    Stir in the crushed peppercorns and cook for another minute. Then, add the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cream

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

  5. 5

    Season and Finish

    Add Worcestershire sauce and salt to taste. Stir well, then remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
