Peppercorn Sauce Recipe:

Ingredients for Peppercorn Sauce:

• 1 shallot, finely minced

• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, finely minced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Freshly cracked black pepper (generous amount)

• Salt, to taste

• All-purpose seasoning (optional)

• 1/3 cup chicken broth

• 1/4 cup Half & Half

• 1 tbsp cold butter

• Fresh parsley, finely minced (optional)

How to Make Easy Peppercorn Sauce:

1. Sauté the Aromatics:
   In the same pan you used to sear your steak or protein (add a little oil if needed), sauté the finely minced shallot, rosemary, and garlic over low heat. Stir frequently until they’re fragrant and softened—about 1 to 2 minutes.

2. Season the Sauce:
   Add a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper and salt to taste. For extra flavor, you can also add a pinch of all-purpose seasoning (optional). Stir frequently to coat the aromatics in the seasoning and let the spices bloom in the warm oil.

3. Add the Liquid:
   Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.

4. Create a Creamy Texture:
   Stir in the Half & Half, and allow the sauce to simmer gently until it thickens (about 3-5 minutes).

5. Finish the Sauce:
   Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cold butter until it melts and creates a silky texture. If desired, add freshly minced parsley for added color and flavor.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
   Pour your peppercorn sauce over your steak, chicken, or any protein of your choice. You can also serve it in a small bowl for dipping!
