Wow, absolutely delicious. On my electric range it took forever to reduce so I made it as my tenderloin was roasting. Fan-freaking-tastic.

I like to brine all sorts of things, from seafood to poultry and pork. So I guess I'm not suprised my nickname is "old Briny Captain Stock" So I was delighted when I came across this recipe (literally whilst scanning food networks' website. The idea of a brined green peppercorn has opened up a lot of doors for me and my brining ways. This sauce was perfect on filet I served to my guests on Christmas Eve. My dear grandma looked up from her plate when she finished the last dollop of sauce, with a tear running down her well weathered skin and proclaimed this Christmas as her last (but I think she meant to say her best. Grandma gets a little confused once she has been hitting the table wine. Thanks Tyler Florence and all of you and yours at Food Network for making a young man proud and an old woman cry tears of joy! Whoop whoop what a hoiliday!

This recipe is great!! If you don't like green peppercorns then leave it out! I have made it both ways and think both complement the beef wonderfully. And to the user who can't figure out what a "box" of beef stock is -- I would say this refers to a 32oz [4cup] BOX of Kitchen Basics Beef Stock......not in a can. This is what I use.
