Creamy Green Peppercorn Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes
Green peppercorns are the unripe, pickled version of black pepper. Their flavor is less sharp, more fresh and herbal, and the soft berries pop pleasantly in your mouth. This sauce is a steakhouse classic: the richness of the cream and the piquant 'bite' of the pepper create a perfect contrast.

Instructions

1 ✓

Lightly crush the peppercorns with the flat side of a knife.

Tip: This releases their flavor without making them too small.
2 ✓

Sauté the minced garlic in the butter and oil mixture.

Tip: Just fragrant, not brown.
3 ✓

Add the peppercorns, toast for 30 seconds, then pour in the stock.

Tip: The stock adds depth alongside the heavy cream.
4 ✓

Reduce by half, then add the cream.

Tip: Reduction concentrates the flavors.
5 ✓

Simmer until thick (approx. 5 minutes), then season with salt to taste.

Tip: The brine from the peppercorns can be salty, so season carefully!
