Notes
- For maximum flavor, toast the whole black peppercorns in a dry skillet before crushing them. Heat over medium for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent burning. When you can smell their aroma, they're ready. The quality of your Dijon mustard matters – choose a good brand for the best flavor profile. This sauce develops even more complexity after resting overnight in the refrigerator, making it perfect for preparing ahead of your barbecue.
