Pepper Sauce

[gallapunk]

Can anyone please give me a recipe for pepper sauce to go with steak? I tried one from my recipe book, but it wasn't very nice, not like the ones you get in restaurants.

Oh nooooo, my nearest M&S is 20 miles away. Guess I should have a look in my local Morrisons or Sainsbury's then.

A while ago we were at a friends for dinner, her pepper sauce was delicious much nicer than mine imagine my surprise when she told me she gets it from the supermarket in a packet, she mixes it with water and a knob of butter and into the microwave for a few mins!
It was delicious! think she said it was made by colmans?

...coat your steaks with peppercorns to your taste, fry in a pan with a little butter, remove the steaks to rest on a warm plate, deglaze your pan with a splash of brandy then ignite it, quickly stir in some double cream stir quickly to avoid curdling until thick, serve immedietly....

Ermintrude: that sounds perfect, so I'm going to have a go at the home-made version, then if it doesn't turn out too well, I'll try the Coleman's one next time, so thanks rosi as well.

Dont get the saisbury's one - it is not very nice - I usually love all Sainsbury food, but I had the pepper sauce from the chill cabinet a couple of weeks ago and it really put me off!

Thank you all so much, very informative. Ermintrude, the sauce was lovely, thank you, and so easy to remember. I did cheat and buy a packet mix as well, just in case, but I didn't need it.
