Once the jar is open and you've taken the peppercorns you need, seal the jar and store in the refrigerator until you need some again. They will keep awhile. If green peppercorns are unavailable, replace with 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns, coarsely crushed Options: If you don't have a barbecue or grill, sear the steaks to the desired doneness in the oil ina skillet set over medium-high heat Method 1. Set 1 tsp of the peppercorns in a small shallow bowl and use the back of a spoon to coarsely crush them. Add the remaining 1 tsp peppercorns to the mashed ones and set them aside for now. 2. Place the 11/4 cups stock in a small pot, set over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer and reduce stock by half. Add wine, vinegar, mustard, sugar and the mashed and whole green peppercorns, return to a simmer, and reduce liquid by half again. Mix in the sour cream (or whipping cream) and cornstarch/ stock mixture, return to a simmer, and simmer 1 minute. Add a bit more stock to the sauce if you find it too thick. Remove sauce from the heat, taste and season with salt, as needed, cover and set it aside for now. 3. Heat your barbecue or indoor grill to medium-high (see Options). Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Brush each steak lightly with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Now grill to the desired doneness, allowing about 2 to 3 minutes per side for rare, and 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare to medium. 4. While steaks cook, set sauce over medium-low heat and make warm again. When steaks are cooked, plate them, top with the sauce and serve.
