Steak and peppercorn sauce go together like ham and eggs, pork chops and apple sauce, or lamb and mint.
In short, they're a culinary match made in heaven, offering an harmonious blend of flavours and textures that never fail to elevate the dish to an entirely new level. The velvety richness of the sauce - typically made with a combination of cream, peppercorns, and other seasonings - is often the go-to accompaniment for many a steak connoisseur.
Whether enjoyed drizzled atop a juicy sirloin, a tender filet mignon, or a hearty ribeye, steak with peppercorn sauce is a classic combination that never fails to impress the palate. And TikToker, Ollieeats, has a super quick way of making it, but purists be warned - for this recipe involves a very strange ingredient. But as the old saying goes - don't knock it until you've tried it.
He told Tiktokers "Quick 'n' easy super bangin' peppercorn sauce for your steak. This is my way of making it before the sauce police come knocking. But I guarantee you will love it".
The recipe has racked up more than 1.4million views on TikTok, and with fans falling over themselves to sing his praises, Olli must be doing something right.
Chef shares two ingredients that make perfect base for any soup - and stock hack
Ingredients
One tablespoon of crushed black pepper
Two teaspoons of garlic paste
Large knob of butter
One beef stock cube
270ml double cream
Method
Add the tablespoon of crushed black pepper along with the two teaspoons of garlic paste and large knob of butter to a pan and heat until frothy. Remove from the heat before adding the double cream. Next, crumble in the beef stock cube - which not only adds a beefy taste but also serves to thicken the sauce. Return the pan to the heat and whisk it until it thickens up. Then decant into a gravy boat, cover in cling film and heat it up when ready. Beautiful!
