A while back, I got a request from the 13-year-old. The kid is already a burgeoning foodie. And even though foodie culture essentially died during the pandemic, I’m never gonna dissuade people, be they my kids or otherwise, from wanting to eat the good shit. We were having steak for dinner that night, and the boy wanted to up the stakes. So he asked me if I could make a green peppercorn sauce to go with the beef. I had never made this sauce. I wasn’t even sure we had the ingredients for it lying around. But kids don’t give a fuck about any of those roadblocks. When they want their green peppercorn steak sauce, they want it now.
