Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup brandy (cognac or marsala)
  • 1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2-3 teaspoons coarsely crushed whole black peppercorns (or jarred green peppercorns, drained)
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. 1

    First, if you're cooking steaks, save the juices in the skillet. This will help flavor the peppercorn sauce.

  2. 2

    To a medium skillet, add 1/3 cup brandy (or cognac or marsala). Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the liquid has reduced, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add the ½ cup low sodium beef broth and bring to a rapid simmer. Cook 2-3 minutes, until reduced by half.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to medium, and add the 1 cup heavy cream and 2-3 teaspoons coarsely crushed whole black peppercorns. Simmer 1-2 minutes, until thickened.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and stir in the 1 Tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce. Season with salt, to taste.
