Instructions

Step 1 – Reduce Cognac

Pour the cognac into a skillet. Let it simmer rapidly for about 1 minute. Cook until the liquid is mostly reduced and the strong alcohol smell is gone.

Step 2 – Add Broth

Add the broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook rapidly for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half.

Step 3 – Add Heavy Whipping Cream and Pepper

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the cream and pepper, then stir to combine. Simmer gently, until the sauce thickens slightly. Do not let it boil rapidly.

Step 4 – Add Pepper to Taste

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and more pepper if needed.
