Brandy and peppercorn sauce is the perfect accompaniment to your steak dinner. This peppery, creamy sauce is great for pouring over a perfectly cooked rump steak and baked potatoes. This recipe serves 4 people and will take 15 mins to rustle up. It's a great sauce that really adds a kick of flavour to your favourite cut of meat.
