Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup beef stock
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, beef stock, and brown sugar. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by about half and thickened slightly.
Lower the heat and whisk in the Dijon mustard, butter, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately by drizzling the sauce over cooked steak or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
