Notes
Cooking fat: For a true dairy-free recipe use either olive oil or unrefined coconut oil. However, I usually use ghee which is an approved Whole30 option.
Steak: Rib eye is my preferred cut of steak but of course you can serve the dairy-free peppercorn sauce with any cut of your choosing. Rib-eye steak is best served medium - medium rare so the fat has more of a chance to melt into the meat.
Whole30 option: Remove the vermouth and either replace with chardonnay wine vinegar or just water.
Don’t have any vermouth? Then swap in brandy or marsala.
Too thick? If your peppercorn sauce seems too thick then you’ve just cooked the sauce a little longer than necessary. Just thin it out with a little more almond milk.
Peppercorns: If you only have black peppercorns then absolutely use those, although they will have a stronger taste.
Serving suggestion: Homemade oven chips and a large green salad.
