In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the gluten-free tamari sauce, brown sugar, freshly ground black pepper, and salt. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuously stirring. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, but do not let it boil.
Stir the cornstarch slurry again and add it to the saucepan, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more black pepper or salt according to preference.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The sauce can be poured over grilled meats, vegetables, or used as a dip for snacks.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.
