What it is
Black pepper sauce is a thick, glossy sauce built on coarsely cracked black peppercorns, typically combined with onions, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sometimes butter or beef stock. It originated in Hong Kong's Western-influenced Cantonese cooking, adapting the classic European steak sauce to Chinese flavors.
