Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the Bordeaux wine with whole black and white peppercorns. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to reduce by half for about 10-15 minutes.
- Melt unsalted butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté them for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Once the wine has reduced, strain it through a fine mesh sieve directly into the skillet with the sautéed shallots. Discard the peppercorns.
- Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce into the shallot and wine mixture. Return to heat and let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt as needed. Remove from heat when it reaches a velvety texture.
- Serve the sauce generously over cooked steak and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes
For a creamy sauce, stir in ¼ cup of heavy cream after removing from heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
