🌽 Gordon Ramsay Green Peppercorn Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallots
  • 2 tablespoons green peppercorns (packed in brine)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons brandy, preferably Cognac
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth, preferably homemade
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Salt, to taste

🍵 How To Make Gordon Ramsay Green Peppercorn Sauce

  1. Set the pan on medium heat and add the oil. Add the shallots, green peppercorns, and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook, stirring every now and then, for about 3 minutes, or until the shallots are soft.
  2. Take it off the heat, add the brandy, and then put it back on the heat. Turn off the heat and let it sit for about one minute.
  3. Stir the flour in and cook for about one minute, until it is fully absorbed. Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the beef broth. Stir the sauce all the time as it simmers for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it has cut in half.
  4. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the cream. It will take about 5 minutes of simmering for the sauce to get thick. 
  5. Add the last tablespoon of butter and mix it in to make it smooth. Add salt. Pair it with chicken, pork chops, or steak.
