Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 6 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Black peppercorns, freshly cracked
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Beef or chicken stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or crush them using a garlic press.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
Step 4
Stir in the freshly cracked black peppercorns, allowing them to release their aroma for about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic-pepper mixture and whisk constantly for 1 minute to form a roux.
Step 6
Gradually pour in the stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 8
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm over your favorite dish.
