Vegan Peppercorn Sauce

There is a good reason why I'm posting this recipe for Vegan Peppercorn Sauce now. Because you definitely want to make it this Holiday season. I couldn't imagine a Thanksgiving or Christmas feast without it. It goes so well together with mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, vegan sausages, or steak.

I've been working on this Peppercorn Sauce for the last couple of months (not all the time obviously, but I've been testing, retesting, and improving it a lot). And I love how it turned out.

Why you should make this Peppercorn Sauce:

  • It's so simple.
  • It's quick to make (<5 mins). You can make it while potatoes are cooking or Brussels sprouts are roasting.
  • It only needs 7 staple ingredients.
  • It's creamy and flavorful.

I'm obsessed with this sauce. And I hope you will too!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter (or oil)
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt + more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon sauce soy
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup water

Instructions
 

  • In a small pot heat the butter (or oil). Add the flour and whisk until there are no lumps left.
  • Add the soy sauce, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk again.
  • Add a ¾ cup of water and bring it to a boil.
  • If it thickens too much, you can always add more water and cook it further until it has reached the perfect consistency. Then you can serve it either warm or cold over vegan steak etc.

Notes

You can prepare this sauce ahead. If it thickens too much, just pop it back into the pot, add a bit more water until it has reached the desired consistency. Bring it to a quick boil to thicken it more.
You can also freeze leftover sauce, and reheat it in a pot. Add a bit more water to thin it out.
