Dijon Mustard Sauce
Description
Dijon Mustard Sauce begins by frying chopped bacon in the pan used to cook the main protein to capture fond flavors; olive oil is added only if the pan is too dry. Fresh rosemary and crushed garlic are quickly cooked with the bacon to release their aromas.
Adding cream and Dijon mustard creates a smooth, luscious sauce that is simmered for 5 to 7 minutes until it thickens to a desirable consistency, remembering that it will thicken further as it cools. Seasoning with salt and black pepper finalizes the balance of flavors.
This sauce pairs exceptionally well with resting steak but also complements chicken, lamb, or pork. Any resting juices from the meat can be poured into the sauce to enhance its richness. If the sauce becomes too thick, gradually stirring in a bit of milk helps loosen it to the preferred texture. The removal of the garlic clove's central core reduces bitterness.
Ingredients
- 2 Bacon finely chopped, rashers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil if needed
- 1 tablespoon rosemary very finely chopped, fresh leaves
- 1 garlic core removed (see my final recipe note) and crushed, clove
- 1¼ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 300 ml cream 35% milk fat with no thickeners added, pure
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the bacon to the pan that you have just cooked your meat in, plus olive oil if the pan is too dry. Fry bacon until lightly browned.
- Add fresh rosemary leaves and crushed garlic to the bacon in the pan, then continue to cook for 30 seconds.
- Add cream and dijon mustard to the pan and stir to combine, scraping up any flavour spots from the bottom of the pan. Simmer on low heat for 5 -7 minutes or until sauce is thickened to your liking, remembering the sauce will thicken as it cools.
- Add salt and pepper to taste then serve.
Notes
- Make the sauce while your protein is resting to use pan juices and timing efficiently.
- Remove the garlic clove core to avoid bitterness in the sauce.
- Incorporate any meat resting juices into the sauce for added flavor.
- If the sauce thickens too much, thin with a small amount of milk as needed.
- The sauce is suitable for steaks, chicken, lamb, or pork.
- This sauce contains no sweeteners, making it suitable for keto diets.
