Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 shallots – peeled and chopped finely
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove – peeled and minced
  • 2 tbsp cognac or bourbon
  • ¾ cup beef stock – water plus 2 stock cubes is fine.
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Add the butter and oil to a frying pan and heat over a medium heat.
  • When the butter has melted, add the shallots, salt, pepper and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shallots are just starting to soften.
  • Add the cognac or bourbon to the pan, bubble for 1 minute, then add in the stock, Worcestershire sauce and mustard.
  • Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
