Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Bordeaux wine
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the Bordeaux wine and both types of peppercorns. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce the wine by half, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Once the wine has reduced, strain it through a fine mesh sieve into the skillet with the shallots, discarding the peppercorns.
  4. Stir in the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
  5. Season with salt to taste and remove from heat.
  6. Serve the sauce warm over your favorite steak, garnished with fresh parsley.
