Steak, I like a peppercorn sauce..............

Must be 6 or 7 years ago that I found this in our Makro branch. I've not seen it since.

I first experienced green pepper sauce served with fillet steak in a restaurant in Taman Desa, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, back in the 90s.

I've never made a peppercorn sauce with green peppercorns. Never thought of it. I wonder if the sauce part is the same as with black peppercorns.

It's a long time ago and I can't even find images at the moment but I think I made the sauce with yoghurt and Worcestershire sauce plus the green pepper, of course, and seasoning.

I've found this one. The quality is suspect but you can no doubt get the idea.

Oddly, you ought to be able to get those easily in Thailand. I've never had fresh ones like this. I'd love to try that peppercorn sauce.

You are correct. According to my wife, Makro (or the other supermarkets) don't have them but the open markets do. She will buy some next time she sees them.

I've ordered some (along with a few other Thai ingredients). I will make green peppercorn sauce in the near future.

A guess:

Galangal?
Lemon grass?
Tamarind?

None of those. I have tamarind pods and paste and can get the other two from the supermarket.

Here is what I ordered:

I can get fresh lime leaves from the supermarket (sometimes) and of course bamboo shoots. But these bamboo shoots looked a bit different. Might just be the picture on the tin.

Depending on which old school supper club you go to around here, you'll see either "peppercorn sauce," which is black peppercorn, or green peppercorn sauce. I don't know if I've seen them both available at the same place.

I do like them both quite a bit, though.

Do you used pickled green peppercorns in the sauce?

I have no idea what they used, but I do know the green peppercorn sauce is more...pungent?...than the black one.

Green peppercorns must be softer than black peppercorns. If you put black peppercorns in a sauce whole, you would break someone's teeth.
