Steak with Peppercorn Sauce - Make it for Date Night!

Welcome to our MAKE IT series where we are kicking things off with a Date night recipe!

Everyone needs a good date night recipe to pull out and impress, and spoil that special someone in their lives so if they are like me, they will love a steak with peppercorn sauce.

Forget buying those bland sauces, making your own sauce from scratch shows dedication, love and passion because today we're turning up the heat. Impress your date with flambé skills, or get them excited with the spice and heat of the peppercorns.

In this video, I’ll show you how to cook the perfect rib-eye steak to a medium rare and make a modern peppercorn sauce from scratch.

You’ll need the following ingredients:
- Steak (I used an Aberdeen Angus Ribeye, but you can also use lamb, and pork)
- Thyme (optional - my garden patch was all out today)
- Garlic
- Butter

For the sauce:
- Peppercorns
- Shallots
- Garlic
- Beef jus or stock
- Double/heavy pouring cream

Subscribe now for more in our MAKE IT series, next up will be another DATE NIGHT special, perfect to follow from our steak dinner.

Peanut allergy guy is such a lucky man.

Love watch your video not only it is for learning how to cook some very delicious food but also for your sense of humour.

[brentonbell]

That practise for later was very saucy!

The recipe looks amazing and I also love to see the continued evolution of the videos as they keep getting better and better.

great video.
looks absolutely delicious.
love the choice the most.
we call a rib eye a ‘scotch fillet’ in australia and it is by far the best steak. i can get two steaks for about 8 pounds from the local aldi and they’re always beautifully marbled with that gorgeous dob of fat in the middle.
wether it be a steak sandwich or a good old steak, egg and chips.
you cannot go wrong with this steak. thanks liz.

6:36, I can see your dedication to cooking! All jokes aside, looks amazing thank you!

[johnpaulrees]

Steak & peppercorn sauce, with a hint of naughty innuendoes.

[MadameNasty]

The peppercorn sauce looks absolutely incredible! The end product after you'd passed it looked so silky and delicious 🤤 I'm single so I'm gonna make this for myself on the next date night with Palmela Handerson. Thanks for the recipe Aunty Liz!

[lukespooner]

This looks incredible might give a go making for me and my wife! Thanks Auntie Liz!

[gurugurumawaru]

Don't let the innuendos distract you from the fact that Liz's husband, is "almost famous" on the internet as the "peanut allergy guy".

Jokes aside, this recipe is also legit. It tailored the ages old recipe, to suit the modern palate. Now I know what I'll be having for dinner tomorrow, have a good one, Liz.

Well done Chef! Great cooking, informational and a great touch of humor.

[smoulder]

Scrumptious and surprisingly simple to prepare. Cheers Sundays 🤟

[SargeK]

I think Uncle Roger should review this video...lol

[bilbobaggins]

I haven't noticed before but I think the voice-overs are a new thing. It gives it a much more produced feeling to it.

[FloridaBard]

Always loved this sauce. Thanks so much for the video and your walk through making it. I can't wait to try it soon. Your Cheeky commentary always the best- uncle Roger would be proud!

[kantemirovskayalightninga]

awesome-all meat! No peanuts needed, hope you both enjoyed your evening!

[GiraffeTimeNow]

"Forget my husband, I got a hunky piece of meat right here." (husband right behind the camera)
Thanks for an excellent video! I'm really happy that you're making content that's beyond the SEA dishes. Everything I've tried from your channel is great so far and can't wait to try this!
For this sauce, do you have any recommendations for cuts to use aside from ribeye?
