Does anyone have a really good peppercorn sauce recipe for steak? Have gone to a couple steakhouses that had it and AlexShark just fell in love with the flavor. I've seen some bottled, but figured it can't be that difficult.

    MollyShark,[p]Try this one. It makes a lot. [p]To get a real good pepper steak, the steak needs to be PAN fried. Use a cast iron skillet and be sure to scrape the bits up. Without these pan drippings, the sauce is rather "hollow" tasting.[p]Stogie
    ____________________________________________________________[p]Cover both sides of steak with olive oil. Crack fresh pepper over each side and coat thoroughly.[p]Pan fry to your desired doneness.[p]Peppercorn Sauce [p]1 cup Beef broth
