Sage Green Peppercorn Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Add the oil. Sear the steaks on both sides until a nice crust form, about 3 minutes per side. Place the pan in the oven and cook until desired doneness is reached. When the steaks come out of the oven, take the steaks out of the cast-iron pan.
• Place the pan on medium heat. Add the shallots to the pan with the thyme. Using the rendered fat from the steaks that is still in the pan, saute until the shallots begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the cognac and take the thyme out. Add the beef demi in with the green peppercorns and Dijon. Bring to a simmer, and then add the cream, honey and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir and pour over the steaks.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery with 4 sprigs each parsley and thyme, 4 sage leaves, and 2 bay leaves until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup cognac, cook for 2 minutes to evaporate the alcohol. Sprinkle in flour to tighten up the mixture and stir to dissolve. Pour in the chicken broth a little at a time to avoid lumping. Add the smoked turkey wings and water, simmer for 15 minutes while preparing the giblets.
• Coat a saute pan with olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the turkey giblets and neck, along with the remaining herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons cognac and continue to cook until the giblets are cooked through. Remove the giblets from the pan and chop them up.
• Pass the broth through a strainer to remove the large pieces of turkey and vegetables. Return the broth to the stove and add the giblets. Simmer until the gravy is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in peppercorns and serve with turkey.

Steps:

• Add olive oil to pan after removing beef. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme; saute for 1 to 2 minutes, then, off heat, add brandy and flambe using a long kitchen match. After flame dies down, return to the heat, add stock and reduce by about half. Strain out solids, then add 2 cups cream and mustard. Reduce by half again, then shut off heat and add green peppercorns.

Steps:

• Boil stock in small saucepan until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Cook steaks to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to plate (do not clean skillet).
• Add chopped shallots to same skillet and sauté 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add reduced beef stock, 1 cup whipping cream, 3 tablespoons Cognac and green peppercorns. Boil until mixture thickens to sauce consistency, about 6 minutes. Season sauce to taste with pepper. Spoon sauce over steaks and serve.
