Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped shallot
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons brandy
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Carefully pour the brandy into the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes, letting the alcohol burn off slightly while stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, stirring well to combine with the brandy mixture.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Once thickened, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley for a burst of flavor.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve warm over your favorite steak, chicken, or vegetable dish.
