peppercorn sauce recipe

use pan that beef was fried in.
added 100ml water + balsamic mix
stirred well with wooden spoon t lift steak remnents from pan
 added a finely chopped shallot
lrg knob butter
15 whole peppercorns previously soaked in hot water for 60mins to soften
plenty of finely ground another 15 peppercorns and equal volume salt crystals
about 100ml of milk
boiled it around for quite a bit t reduce little then added cornflour to stiffen.

 tasted quite sweet for some reason (contrary to expectation this may be from the balsamic vinegar) very good but shallot makes it a little lumpy, which kinda hides the softened peppercorns.

if i were drinking i would have used wine instead of balsamic n water.

served with steak, mash, and brussel sprouts.
