Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the coarsely crushed black peppercorns and continue cooking for another minute to release their flavor.
Pour in the beef broth, bring it to a simmer, and let it reduce slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce, and whisk to combine.
Let the mixture simmer gently, lowering the heat as needed, for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Season with salt to taste.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce while continuously whisking to avoid clumping.
Continue cooking and whisking until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
