Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Shallot
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon Fresh tarragon leaves
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Beef stock
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Finely mince the shallot and garlic. Chop the fresh tarragon leaves and set everything aside.

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it is fully melted and foaming.

Add the minced shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for about 2 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh tarragon, heavy cream, beef stock, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Step 7

Let the sauce simmer gently on low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

Step 9

Remove the sauce from the heat and serve warm over freshly cooked steak or other grilled meats.
