Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper, coarsely ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth, stirring to combine with the garlic and butter mixture.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Add the coarsely ground black pepper and salt, stirring until they are fully incorporated into the sauce.
Continue simmering the sauce for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld, while stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the sauce, then whisk vigorously to prevent any lumps from forming.
Simmer the sauce for another 2-3 minutes until it reaches your desired thickness.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools slightly.
Serve the Keto Black Pepper Sauce warm over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce.
