Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium, finely chopped shallot
  • 2 cloves, minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons brandy
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Melt the unsalted butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Carefully pour the brandy into the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes, letting the alcohol burn off slightly while stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, stirring well to combine with the brandy mixture.

Step 6

Whisk in the Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Once thickened, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley for a burst of flavor.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve warm over your favorite steak, chicken, or vegetable dish.
