Sunnys Easy Red Wine Peppercorn Sauce Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY RED-EYE BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Season the beef cubes on all sides with salt and pepper. In a large, ovensafe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the butter. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper and cook until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate. Working in batches, sear the beef cubes and jalapeno halves on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove to a bowl, leaving the fat in the pot. Toss the seared beef cubes and jalapeno with the flour.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Add the onions, paprika and sage to the pot and cook, stirring, until the onions are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, ground and cubed beef and jalapenos to the pot. Add the beef stock and 1 cup of the coffee. Season with a pinch of salt. Cover and cook in the oven until the beef is tender, about 4 hours.
• At the 4-hour mark, add the potatoes, carrots and remaining 1/2 cup coffee. Cover and continue to cook until the potatoes and carrots are tender, about 1 hour. Skim off any fat from the top, then spoon the stew over the rice. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

SUNNY'S T-BONE STEAK WITH EASY BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the T-bone steaks: Heat a large cast-iron griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Generously sprinkle both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
• Add the oil to the griddle. Add the steaks and cook until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from the heat, then tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• For the easy bearnaise sauce: Add the yolks and lemon juice to a blender. Turn on the blender and slowly stream in the melted butter. Once all the butter is incorporated, season with salt and pepper. Remove the sauce to a bowl over a bain marie (hot water) and keep warm. Add the chives, red onion and thyme and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and add to a serving bowl.
• Serve the bearnaise sauce over the steaks.

SUNNY'S HONEY-SRIRACHA DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a sauce pot on medium heat, add the sriracha, ketchup, orange juice, brown sugar, honey, a little pinch of salt and plenty of grinds of black pepper. Once it bubbles, reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Serve hot right away or at room temperature, or refrigerate and serve cold. Great for wings, veggies, fries or other dippables.

SUNNY'S SPICY HAWAIIAN BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepot on medium heat, add the pineapple and plenty of coarse freshly cracked black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pineapple begins to bubble and brown a bit, about 20 minutes. Add the BBQ sauce, gochujang and vinegar and whisk to combine. If the mixture is too loose, cook down to a thicker consistency; if it is too thick, add a splash of water to loosen, but no more than 1/4 cup.
• Let the sauce cool. When close to room temperature, stir in the cilantro.
