Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped shallot
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 0.25 cup whiskey
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the finely chopped shallot and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Carefully pour in the whiskey and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off slightly while stirring.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the whiskey mixture.
Add the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper, and stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a small splash of cream or whiskey.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over your choice of dish, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
