Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Shallots, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Whiskey
- 1 cup Chicken or beef stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Carefully pour the whiskey into the pan, allowing it to deglaze and scrape up any bits from the bottom.
Increase the heat to medium-high and let the whiskey simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce by half.
Stir in the chicken or beef stock and continue to simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the heavy cream, and stir well to combine.
Add the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Let the sauce simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving. Serve warm.
