Recipe
The Smoking Gun
Outback Peppercorn Sauce
2 Tbsp. Whole (From the vines) Smoked Peppercorns
1/2cup Water
2-4 Garlic cloves (chopped)
1tsp Canola oil
1.5L Beef broth (soon to be reduced to 1 cup of liquid)
1tsp Onion powder
175mls Heavy cream
3 Tbsp. Cornstarch
1 Tbsp. Chopped parsley.
Resting Juices from 4 Steaks
1. Soak peppercorns in water for 24 hours prior to making sauce keep reserved liquid.
2. In a medium saucepan sauté, garlic until fragrant not brown, then add beef stock, onion powder and soaked peppercorns, keep pepper liquid to the side for now.
3. Simmer liquid 30-45 mins. on low heat until liquid has reduced to about 1 cup and peppercorns have softened somewhat.
4. Strain the sauce of the peppercorns and garlic, (but keep), and return to a simmer, next, whisk together cornstarch, cream and reserved Smoking gun peppercorn liquid. And slowly whisk into the beef broth. It should thicken to coat the back of a spoon.
5. Chop up the soaked peppercorns and add them back into the sauce, with steak resting juices, season with salt to taste.
*TIP* Sauce will seem very peppery by itself. Don’t season your steaks with pepper before grilling the sauce will bring that flavor to the party.
*TIP* if it is too peppery for your liking just don’t add the chopped pepper back into the sauce, there should be enough flavour from simmering in the liquid.
