The Perfect Maple Whiskey Pepper Sauce Recipe
Nothing goes better with a good steak than a creamy, rich, and comforting peppercorn sauce. Imagine: in just 10 minutes, you have a sauce that gently simmers while your steak goes to grill, both ready at the same time and made for each other. I make this sauce especially when I'm making flank steak. It's also great with fries, mushrooms, asparagus, and more!
This sauce is a classic must-have for your romantic evenings or special occasions. Black peppercorns, our famous Texas spices, butter, cream and, our special touch, whiskey. Rich and full of character, it promises to transform your meal into a memorable moment.
Key Ingredients for a Racing Sauce:
- Cream: Choose 35% cream for a smooth texture that doesn't separate.
- Whiskey: Maple whiskey adds a magical dimension with its sweet, woody notes. If you prefer to skip the alcohol, an extra spoonful of Worcestershire sauce will do the trick.
- The spices: Texas is what makes all the difference in this recipe!
- Broth: Beef broth is ideal, +5 points if you made it yourself
- Shallots: Shallots, or failing that, finely chopped white or brown onions, add texture and a kick of flavor.
Preparation :
Lightly crush the peppercorns in a bag or using a mortar.
Sauté the shallots with salt and pepper in a mixture of butter and oil until tender.
Add the whisky, then the stock and Worcestershire sauce, and boil vigorously for five minutes.
Stir in cream and meat juices, if available. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
Pro Tip: Don't be intimidated by the amount of pepper; its heat subsides as it cooks, giving way to a surprising sweetness. Feel free to add even more pepper to adjust to your taste.
If the sauce is too runny, let it simmer longer, it will reduce more and more and end up with the texture you want.
Ingredients :
- 4 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Texas spice
