Fillet of Beef with Black, White and Pink Peppercorns

The pink peppercorn is a reasonably new arrival in our speciality shops. Also called poivre rose and baise rose, it is a soft bright pink peppercorn with a peppery but sweet flavour. It is sold dried and can be ground in a mill. In fact it’s not a true pepper at all, but the berry of a plant related to poison ivy. Some people are allergic to it, so use with caution!
