Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 small (minced) garlic cloves
- 1 cup whiskey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit blend)
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Heat a medium-sized non-stick saucepan over medium heat.
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and melt until bubbly.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the whiskey and bring to a gentle simmer. Let cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
Add the brown sugar substitute, soy sauce or tamari, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly (around 8-10 minutes).
Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Adjust for sweetness if desired by adding a small amount of additional sweetener.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm over your favorite protein or roasted vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
