I have been making this recipe for a few years and I still find myself watching this video every so often. I like to make it with chicken stock and serve the sauce on the side to pour it over top of the steak and whatever side I make.

I cooked this for my girlfriend and she hated it. She's vegetarian btw. lol. Kidding aside, I use this recipe when I have family over and they love it every single time! Thanks, chef!

I could just watch Manu cook all day long. His voice is so soothing, hehe. Plus, he inspires me to actually try out the recipes :)

Just made this again for the family - best peppercorn sauce I’ve tasted. Combined with medium rare fillet steaks, frites, green beans and carrots - you have one of the best homemade meals! Have been using this recipe for years and will continue to for many more! Merci Manu! 👨‍🍳👌
