Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 6 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Black peppercorns, freshly cracked
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Beef or chicken stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or crush them using a garlic press.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
Stir in the freshly cracked black peppercorns, allowing them to release their aroma for about 30 seconds.
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic-pepper mixture and whisk constantly for 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm over your favorite dish.
