Method
Season the burgers with salt & some of the cracked peppercorn and grill them
3 to 4 minutes on each side until well done. Grill the mushrooms a couple of
minutes on each side and serve with the burgers and the peppercorn sauce.
Peppercorn wine sauce: You can coarsely crack the peppercorn by placing
them in a plastic bag and crushing them using the bottom of a pot, but I like to
keep some of them as wholes. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat,
sauté shallots until softened for about two minutes. Add the wine and the rest
of the peppercorn and simmer stirring it for about two minutes. Add beef broth,
cooking cream and simmer for three more minutes until sauce has thickened.
