Poivrade sauce is a classic French pepper sauce that is an ideal accompaniment to marinated meat and game dishes. It consists of a mirepoix that is thickened with flour, along with wine, vinegar, and a hefty dose of pepper. There are two popular versions of the sauce: one is used for meat (especially beef), and the other specifically for game.

The sauce can be made as a compound sauce that is derived from a demi-glace or sauce espagnole. It should be noted that poivrade is not the same as sauce au poivre, which is a pan sauce.
