Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup Whiskey
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 cup Beef stock
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Carefully add the whiskey to the pan. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to cook off most of the alcohol.

Step 5

Stir in the brown sugar, beef stock, heavy cream, soy sauce, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

Step 7

Slowly drizzle the slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring, and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the sauce from the heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm over your favorite dish.
