Ingredients | Peppercorn Sauce For Steak Au Poivre

1 whole head garlic

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups milk

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon ground mixed peppercorns

1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Slice off the top third of the head of garlic so the tips of the cloves are exposed. Place in a small baking dish, and add just enough water to cover the bottom of the dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the garlic, then cover with a lid or foil. Bake for 45 minutes.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix together the flour and milk so there are no lumps, and pour into the pan with the butter. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes. Squeeze the garlic cloves from their skin, and mash. Stir garlic into the sauce, and season with salt, peppercorns, and nutmeg.
