Time 10m

Yield One cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 teaspoons olive oil
4 small shallots, peeled and finely chopped
4 medium cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
4 teaspoons black peppercorns, cracked
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 cup duck-and-veal demi-glace (see note)
4 teaspoons sherry vinegar
6 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, pepper and salt and cook, stirring often, until the shallots are lightly caramelized, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the demi-glace and vinegar and cook for 3 minutes, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the cream and butter and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the parsley and serve immediately. The sauce is good with beef, veal or chicken.

I've never made a cream sauce before, but this recipe was so easy to follow. The sauce turned out perfectly and it was so delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm not a huge fan of peppercorns, but I thought I'd give this sauce a try. I'm so glad I did! The peppercorns are not overpowering at all, and they add a really nice flavor to the sauce. I will definitely be making this again.

This cracked pepper cream sauce is incredible! It's so rich and flavorful, and the peppercorns add a nice kick. I served it over pasta, but I think it would also be great on chicken or fish.
