Confusing peppercorn sauce with steak Daiana,, mustard? No fresh green peppercorn ! Colour of Beef stock looks so anaemic!
none flaming the alcohol from brandy ,cook-sauce for another 20 minutes
Oh dear 😢
No no no
Noob question – new to cooking !!
If we make the sauce in advance and reheat it, does that mean put it in the microwave or do we warm it over the stove? If the latter, how do you advise doing that e.g. heat strength, timing etc.
Thanks!! <3
I've heard the type of beef stock you use makes a HUGE difference. I tried making this sauce based on another video using (I think it was Swanson with 500ml of sodium per cup). Since it had so much sodium I didn't bother adding salt to the sauce and it didn't come out good at all – came out very bland. Is buying the right beef stock very important? I live in San Francisco, California USA. I don't know how to cook but I very much want to make this sauce for my steak. I saw your beef stock you use in Amazon UK. Do recommend buying the same sauce you are using?
Thanks I needed this I now am eatingsome steak and chips with your peppercorn sauce
I haven’t had peppercorn sauce in a long time but was craving a London broil and this is the perfect sauce for that, thank you for the recipe
Worcestershire sauce substituted the brandy pretty good
pure white slop
Who cooks shallots for 5 minutes 🤔
0:31 Nooooo!!!!! 😭 Use clarified butter or olive oil. What kind of cooking school is this?!
