- 2 tablespoons brandy or cognac (optional, for depth)
- 2 tablespoons crushed black peppercorns

Instructions:
- Sauté aromatics:
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté shallots and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes. - Add liquids:
Carefully add brandy (if using) and simmer for 1–2 minutes to reduce slightly. Then stir in beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. - Add cream and seasoning:
Pour in heavy cream, crushed black peppercorns, and Dijon mustard. Stir well and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5–7 minutes. - Season and serve:
Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately over steak, chicken, or your favorite dish.
Tips for Perfect Peppercorn Sauce:
- Crush black peppercorns coarsely for the best texture and flavor.
