Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.

Step 2

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a smooth roux.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 6

Remove from heat and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 7

Serve the mustard cream sauce warm over sliced corned beef. Enjoy!
