Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 small (minced) garlic cloves
• 1 cup whiskey
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit blend)
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium-sized non-stick saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and melt until bubbly.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Pour in the whiskey and bring to a gentle simmer. Let cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.

Step 5

Add the brown sugar substitute, soy sauce or tamari, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly (around 8-10 minutes).

Step 7

Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Adjust for sweetness if desired by adding a small amount of additional sweetener.

Step 8

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm over your favorite protein or roasted vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
