Ingredients

• 150 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
• 120 milliliters low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1.5 tablespoons crushed black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water, stirring until smooth to create a slurry. This will help thicken the sauce.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the crushed black peppercorns and garlic powder, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Pour the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth into the saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.

Step 5

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, mixing well to incorporate all flavors.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, slowly whisk in the low-fat Greek yogurt until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Make sure the mixture is warm rather than hot to prevent the yogurt from curdling.

Step 7

Season with salt to taste and give the sauce one final stir.

Step 8

Serve immediately over your choice of steak, chicken, or roasted vegetables. The sauce can also be prepared ahead of time and reheated gently over low heat.
