Green Peppercorn sauce for Steak

Green Peppercorn sauce for Steak

A rather rich, and very tasty (even if I do say so myself!) sauce to accompany steak that doesn't really take very long to prepare and really does go nicely with a ribeye steak that's been cooked to medium-rare and served up with roasted new potatoes
good with steak, great with rib-eye, peppery and rich, creamy
