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

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the butter is melted, add the finely chopped shallot and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

Carefully pour in the whiskey and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off slightly while stirring.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the whiskey mixture.

Step 6

Add the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper, and stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a small splash of cream or whiskey.

Step 9

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.
