Method
- Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the peppercorns and toast for 3-4 mins until fragrant. Add to a pestle and mortar and crush until coarse; set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same pan (or the pan you’ve cooked your steak in) over a low heat. Add the shallot and cook for 4-5 mins until soft. Add the brandy and increase the heat to high. Bubble for 1-2 mins until the brandy has nearly disappeared. Add the stock and bubble for 4-5 mins until reduced by about half. Add the whipping cream, the crushed peppercorns, mustard and Worcester sauce. Continue to simmer, stirring, for 4-5 mins until thickened to a pourable consistency; season to taste.
