  4. Step 4

    Pour the sauce onto the steak, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

The flavor was okay, but I thought the sauce was too thin. And the shallots needed more than one minute to cook. I did add mushrooms (already cooked) once the shallots were done and this helped bulk up the sauce. I didn't have green peppercorns and used black instead - probably a big mistake.
