Peppercorn Gravy
"I went searching for this after having fallen in love with it at Del Frisco's steakhouse. This recipe came from the Food Network, but I tweaked it a bit to make it easier!"

WOW! This is as good as my mother's gravy...maybe even better. It really dresses a steak up. I used 1/2 and 1/2 and it worked just fine! -
Playing "New Kid on the Block" game and chose this recipe. It was so creamy and great depth of flavor, very different from my regular gravy. I served with Chicken instead of steak so did use chicken stock - but sure it would be good either way. Trouble is - DH usually makes the gravy in this house but after I made this and he tried it - he says now I'll have to do it from now on as this is so much better. We'll have to see about that, maybe I just need to give him this recipes :rofl:
