Pepper Sauce for Steak
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup finely minced shallots
  • 6 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon crushed black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cognac
  • 1 1/2 cups beef stock
  • 6 tablespoons creme fraiche
  • 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1
Heat a small amount of butter in a low-heat cooking vessel until it starts to melt.
2
Combine the melted butter with sliced shallots and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and transparent, approximately 5 minutes.
3
Add chopped parsley to the mixture and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently; then add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
4
Carefully pour a small amount of cognac over the shallot mixture, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
5
Continue cooking and stirring until the flames from the cognac have disappeared, usually within 2 to 3 minutes.
6
Add a sufficient amount of beef stock to the mixture, bringing it to a boil; then reduce the heat and stir in creme fraiche.
7
Simmer the sauce over low heat until it has slightly thickened, approximately 5 minutes.
8
Finally, stir in the remaining butter until it has fully melted into the sauce.
