Steak with Green Peppercorn Sauce - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Esimmons
The tangy flavor of green peppercorns distinguishes the creamy sauce for this tender steak. You can buy the peppercorns canned (packed in salt water or vinegar) or dried; the recipe works well with either kind, though the canned type will be slightly softer.

1 tablespoon margarine
1 tablespoon olive
6 tablespoons brandy, warmed
1/2 cup minced shallots
2 tablespoons canned green peppercorns, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dry tarragon
