Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously to make a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the mixture turns a light golden color.
Gradually pour in the beef broth while continuing to whisk, ensuring there are no lumps and the mixture becomes smooth.
Slowly add the heavy cream and whisk until well combined, creating a thick, creamy base.
Stir in the white wine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Add the lemon juice just before serving to brighten the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over meats or your dish of choice.
