- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup brandy or cognac
- 1 tablespoon green peppercorns in brine, drained
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Saute Aromatics: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent.
- Deglaze with Brandy: Pour in the brandy or cognac, carefully flambe to burn off the alcohol (if desired), and allow it to simmer for a minute or two until the liquid reduces by half.
- Add Broth and Peppercorns: Pour in the beef broth and add the green peppercorns. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, letting it reduce slightly.
- Incorporate Cream: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to thicken for another 5-7 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally.
- Season and Serve: Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Once the desired consistency is reached, remove from heat.
- Serve with Roast: Drizzle this zesty pepper sauce generously over your roast just before serving, allowing the flavors to enhance the dish.
