Sirloin steak with creamy green peppercorn sauce.
SHOPPING: Sirloin steak (not top sirloin, which is tougher) should be about 1 inch thick with moderate marbling. Green peppercorns come in brine (best for this) or dried; use brined. This sauce works on any steak; sirloin is traditional because it's affordable.
The sauce can be made slightly ahead and gently rewarmed. British pubs often serve this with chips (fries) and peas.
