Hi , I'm Nicky .

Welcome back to our kitchen , where we show you how to make delicious family friendly recipes .

Now , hopefully you've seen our steak video where we show you how to make the perfect steak .

If you haven't seen it , I'll leave a link at the end of this video .

But today we're talking steak sauces .

I'm gonna share with you six of my favourite sauces to serve with steak .

And we're gonna start off with a personal favourite , this lovely , creamy , fiery sauce peppercorn sauce .

First , we're gonna place three teaspoons of peppercorns in a ziplock bag and roughly crush them with a rolling pin .

Now add a tablespoon of unsalted butter and half a tablespoon of sunflower oil to a frying pan and heat over a medium heat , adding two finely chopped shallots , a quarter of a teaspoon of salt and those crushed peppercorns from earlier .

We're also gonna add in one teaspoon of whole peppercorns and then cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the shallots are just starting to soften .

Now add three tablespoons of brandy .

I'll let that bubble for a minute .

Then we're gonna add in 100 and 80 mil or three quarters of a cup of beef stock , plus a teaspoon of Worcester sauce .

Bring that to the boil and let it simmer for about five minutes , until it's reduced by half .

Then we add in 100 and 20 mil or half a cup of double or heavy cream .

Stir in the cream and bring back to a simmer , then turn off the heat and serve over that lovely steak .

Now , for a delicious red wine Jew , we start off by adding a tablespoon of unsalted butter , plus half a tablespoon of sunflower oil to a frying pan and heat over a medium heat .

Then we add two finely diced shallots and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes , until the shallots have just started to soften .

Now add in two minced cloves of garlic and cook for about 30 seconds .

Next in goes a teaspoon of plain all purpose flour , and just cook that for another 30 seconds .

Now add in 120 mil , which is about half a cup of red wine , plus 180 mil , which is about three quarters of a cup of beef stock .

We're also gonna add in a good pinch of salt and pepper .

Give it a stir together and bring to the boil and then simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes , stirring occasionally , until it's slightly thickened .

If you've got any juices left over from cooking your steak , you can also add those into now .

Stir in a little fresh time and you're good to go for all those mushroom lovers out there .

We've got this amazing creamy mushroom sauce .

We're gonna start by adding a tablespoon of unsalted butter and half a tablespoon of some flour oil to a pan and heat over a medium heat .

Then we add in a finely diced shallot and cook for a few minutes , until just starting to soften .

Next , in goes eight .

Chestnut mushrooms have been thickly sliced , plus two cloves of minced garlic .

We're also going to add in half a teaspoon of salt , half a teaspoon of pepper and a quarter of a teaspoon of dried thyme or two sprigs of fresh thyme .

Give that a stir and cook for about three minutes , until the mushrooms are softened .

Then we're going to add in 120 mil or half a cup of white wine .

Bring that to the boil and simmer until almost all the liquid is evaporated .

Then we'll add in 100 and 20 mil or half a cup of chicken stock and 100 and 80 mil or three quarters of a cup of double or heavy cream .

Let that simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes and then serve over steak .

Next up is this fantastic Diane Sauce .

First , we add one tablespoon of unsalted butter , plus half a tablespoon of sunflower oil to a frying pan and heat over a medium heat .

Then we add in two finely chopped shallots , plus a quarter of a teaspoon each of salt and black pepper and one minced clove of garlic .

Cook them together for about 2 to 3 minutes , until the shallots are just starting to soften .

Now we add in two tablespoons of cognac and let that bubble for about a minute before adding 100 and 80 mil or three quarters of a cup of beef stock .

We're also gonna add in a teaspoon of Worcester sauce and two teaspoons of Dijon mustard , cooked together for a further 2 to 3 minutes , until slightly thickened , then add in 100 and 20 mil or half a cup of double or heavy cream .

Bring back to the boil .

Let that simmer for a couple of minutes , then turn off the heat and serve over steak .

Now I love this simple , versatile garlic butter .

You can serve it with anything , but I particularly love it with steak .

We're gonna add 100 and 20 grammes , which is about eight tablespoons of unsalted soft butter to a bowl , along with two teaspoons of dried parsley , one teaspoon of salt and three minced cloves of garlic , and then give that a good stir together until it's thoroughly combined .

You can serve it right away , or , if you want to make it into a roll so you can slice it .

Then place blobs of the garlic butter on some cling film and roll it up .

Twist the ends together and then place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour until it's nice and firm .

Once that's refrigerated , you can slice it up and serve .

I love how that garlic butter melts into that juicy steak , and the final recipe is for this luxurious blue cheese sauce .

First add two tablespoons of unsalted butter to a frying pan and heat over a medium heat , then add a finely diced shallot and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes , until softened before adding a minced clove of garlic .

Cook that for about another minute , then we're gonna add in 100 and 50 mil or half a cup , plus two tablespoons of double or heavy cream , plus 100 and 25 grammes or 4.5 ounces of crumbled Stilton .

Stir together until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly .

This should only take a couple of minutes , then add in a tablespoon of Worcester sauce and a quarter of a teaspoon of black pepper .

Stir that all together and let that bubble for another minute or two until thickened to your liking and then serve over steak .
