Cookbook:Savory Mustard Sauce

This savory mustard sauce is great on filet mignon or pork tenderloin, or as a grilling baste for chicken.

Ingredients

 * ½ cup Dijon mustard
 * ¼ cup chicken broth
 * 1 ¼ tsp cornstarch
 * 1 pinch of salt
 * ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
 * 1 tbsp olive oil
 * 1 shallot, very finely minced
 * 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

Procedure

 * 1) Heat olive oil in a large slope-sided skillet over medium high heat. Add shallot and sauté until golden.
 * 2) Meanwhile, combine broth and starch. Set aside.
 * 3) Once shallot has cooked, add mustard, salt, and pepper to pan. Decrease heat to medium low heat.
 * 4) Once sauce heats to just below a simmer, add broth mixture. Cook, whisking continuously, until sauce thickens slightly.
 * 5) Whisk in butter 1 tbsp at a time, waiting for the one before it to fully melt before adding another.
 * 6) Once all butter has been used, remove sauce from heat.
 * 7) Serve with a steak or some pork tenderloin, or use as a grilling baste.
