Ribeye Steak with Ultimate Peppercorn Sauce

45 minutes | easy | Serves 2

A great peppercorn sauce is such a classic accompaniment to steak, and we love to serve it with a perfectly grilled rib eye. We use three different types of peppercorns to add a different dimension of flavour to our sauce and ensure it’s super peppery. Make sure to use the Jupiter Outback probe thermometer to ensure your steak is perfectly cooked.

Ingredients

  • 1 ribeye steak (~500g)
  • 25g butter
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • Splash of brandy
  • 300ml beef stock
  • 100ml double cream
  • Dash Worcestershire sauce
  • 1.5 teaspoons black peppercorns
  • 1.5 teaspoons black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon green peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or groundnut oil

Directions

1.

Light two gas burners

Light two gas burners on the Jupiter Outback BBQ and set the heat to high. Rub the steak lightly with oil and then season very well with flaky sea salt. Place over direct heat and cook to your liking – timings will depend on the thickness and shape of the steak. We recommend medium or medium rare for rib eye.

2.

Use the Jupiter Outback meat thermometer

Use the Jupiter Outback meat thermometer to measure the exact internal temperature – we recommend 52C before resting for medium rare.

You can serve this classic peppercorn sauce recipe with any cut of steak, including fillet, bavette or even with something like a chateubriand or beef wellington.
