Rich, creamy and studded with whole green peppercorns, this classic steak sauce brings serious steakhouse energy to the table.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp of Kanel Fresh Salted Peppercorns
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup of brandy or cognac
  • 1 cup of beef stock
  • 3/4 cup of heavy cream
  • 3 tsp cornstarch

Directions

  1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the butter and shallots (ideally, use a pan that you just cooked steak in!)

  2. Once the shallots are softened, add the brandy or cognac and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes.

  3. Add the stock, cream, and Salted Peppercorns.

  4. Simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  5. Meanwhile, make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with a bit of water.

  6. Thicken the sauce by pouring some of the slurry in and quickly incorporate it in with a spoon. Add more until the sauce has thickened to your preference, and serve immediately.
