*Classic Steak Au Poivre Sauce* Serves 2 generously

This classic sauce is not only delicious when you have a perfectly cooked steak to serve, but is also an excellent cover-up for beef that is overcooked, tough, or lacking in flavour.

2 TBS whole black peppercorns
175ml good red wine
174ml double cream
1 TBS cognac
salt to taste

Place the peppercorns in a heavy ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin. Place in the saucepan and add the wine. Cook and boil until reduced to 2 TBS. Whisk in the cream and cognac and heat until quite warm. Season to taste with salt.
