Critical Success Points

  • Properly toast the coarse pepper to develop flavor without burning.
  • Flambé the brandy safely, ensuring the flame is controlled and the alcohol fully reduces.
  • Reduce the sauce to the right consistency; it should coat the back of a spoon.

Safety Warnings

  • Flambéing involves open flame; keep flammable objects away.
  • Use a long-handled lighter or torch to avoid burns.
  • Hot pan and sauce can cause severe burns; handle with oven mitts.
