    Add some garlic to a pan, gently saute it, then add your cream and let it simmer, stirring, add some white wine, and simmer, and it will thicken up without the use of anything else...If it doesnt add a little flour paste, made up with flour and water......

    I make it all the time....

    Do you have any peppercorns
    If you simmer the cream then add some wine and the peppercorns let it simmer til it thickens then pour over your steak

    can use brandy instead of wine too

    Its so yummy

    My old standby - use pan juices, add thickened cream (how much depending on how many you need to serve) and some wholegrain mustard. Cook it up for a while until it becomes thick. To this you can add any or all - spring onions, garlic, white wine.

    Another favourite sauce, would be mushroom, really really easy, just chopped mushrooms quite chunky (or alternatively use baby mushrooms) sauté in some butter or marg,(at this stage can add some white wine if you wish), then tip in either cream or sour cream and reduce to sauce consistency, yummy!
