Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a smooth roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and honey. Continue cooking until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, approximately 2 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Remove from heat and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the mustard cream sauce warm over sliced corned beef. Enjoy!
