Mustard Cream Pan Sauce Recipes

MUSTARD-CREAM PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine broth and mustard in a measuring cup. Pour contents of the measuring cup into a heated skillet; boil until liquid is reduced by about half. Tilt skillet so that the liquid is at one side of the pan, then whisk in cream until sauce is smooth. Spoon sauce over cooked steaks and serve immediately.

PAN-SEARED STRIP STEAK WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Steaks: Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high until it is very hot but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Add half the butter to the skillet and set one of the steaks directly on top. Repeat with remaining butter and steak. Without moving the steaks, sear until steaks release easily from pan and a golden brown crust has formed, about 4 minutes. Using tongs, turn steaks over and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer reaches 115 to 120 degrees for rare, 125 degrees for medium-rare, and 135 to 140 degrees for medium. Transfer steaks to a warm plate to rest.
• Sauce: Remove pan from heat and carefully pour in vermouth (it will spatter). Return skillet to heat. Deglaze pan, stirring up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, and cook until liquid is almost completely reduced, about 45 seconds. Add cream and any juices that have collected from steak; stir to combine. Stir in mustard; heat 15 seconds. Cook until sauce lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 10 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place steaks on dinner plates and pour sauce over the top, dividing evenly, before serving.

DIJON PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat pan drippings (fond) in their skillet or roasting pan over high heat. Stir mustard into skillet.
• Pour chicken stock into skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook at a boil until sauce has a cream consistency, 2 to 5 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat. Whisk cold butter into sauce until butter is melted and sauce is shiny.

MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon-style mustard and lemon juice. Adjust amount of mustard to taste. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until serving.

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large resealable bag, combine the beef broth, white wine, 1 tablespoon of the mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, chopped garlic, onions and some salt and pepper. Add the chicken quarters to the bag, seal well, and shake a bit to coat the chicken in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels; reserve the marinade. Add the chicken, skin side down, to the skillet and cook until nicely brown, 5 minutes. Flip, and brown on the reverse side, another 4 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter and the smashed garlic to the pan. Cook for 1 minute, basting the chicken with the melted butter.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees F, measured at the thickest part of the thigh, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and let rest, loosely cover, for 5 minutes.
• Heat the half-and-half and rosemary in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the oil from the skillet the chicken was cooked in. Place the skillet over medium heat and deglaze the pan with half of the reserved marinade, scraping up any browned bit from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2 minutes, to reduce. Strain into the heated half-and-half and remove the rosemary sprig. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the half-and-half, then whisk in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard powder, the whole-grain mustard and the lemon juice. Season the sauce with a salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Pour some of the sauce over the chicken and serve the rest on the side.

CREAMY DIJON MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter (omit this step if using pan drippings - see notes). Once the butter is melted and foaming, whisk in chicken stock and heavy cream.
• Add Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce and whisk through to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• If serving with a main protein, such as pork chops, you can add them back to the pan to cook in the sauce.
• Garnish with fresh thyme and serve immediately.
