Peppercorn sauce

Peppercorn sauce is a culinary cream sauce prepared with peppercorn, which is prepared as a reduction of the cream in the cooking process.[1] Various types of peppercorn can be used in its preparation, such as black, green[2] and pink,[3] among others. Peppercorn sauce may be served with beef steak[4] such as filet mignon[1][5] and other beef tenderloin cuts,[6] lamb,[4] rack of lamb,[7] chicken[8] and fish dishes, such as those prepared with tuna and salmon.[2][3]
