Instructions
If possible use the pan that you just seared meat in (leave any fat/oil and juices leftover and make it directly in the same pan). If you’re not cooking meat then start with a clean pan.
- Start by chopping up the onions and garlic, set aside.
- In a medium saute pan on medium heat, heat the oil. (use a pan you just seared meat or fish in)
- Saute the onion until translucent for about 1-2 minutes, add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. (Stir frequently so it doesn’t burn) Season with salt and pepper.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine (AKA pour in the white wine), then the lemon if using. Bring it up to a simmer.
- Add .25(¼) cups of the broth or water, simmer until it starts to reduce down. Add a touch more liquid it gets too dry. Adjust seasonings & add herbs
- After it’s reduced by about half whisk in the cream and simmer another couple of minutes
- On medium-high heat – The last couple of minutes add the butter whisking until melted and fully incorporated (so the sauce doesn’t break, then turn the heat to low.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add a touch of liquid if the sauce is too thick.
- Enjoy hot right away or store in the fridge for up to a week.
