Preparation

Cooking Instructions

1. Sauté Shallots

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

2. Add Bourbon

Carefully pour in the Maker's Mark bourbon and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow it to simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful bits, until reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Incorporate Stock and Cream

Stir in the beef stock and black peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for another 5 minutes. Then, slowly add the heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

4. Season and Serve

Season the sauce with salt to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley before serving. Drizzle over your choice of steak or grilled meats.
