Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons peppercorns
  • 60g butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 100ml brandy
  • 100ml beef stock
  • 60ml double cream

Method

  • STEP 1
    1. Crush the peppercorns slightly, either using a mortar and pestle or a rolling pin.
  • STEP 2
    2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add the shallots and saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the brandy and boil for another 3 minutes. Add beef stock and boil another 3 minutes.
  • STEP 3
