This sauce is best served immediately. If it sits for too long, the butter may separate. If this happens, gently reheat the sauce over low heat, whisking constantly, until it comes back together.

    I found that using unsalted butter allowed me to control the saltiness of the sauce better. Thanks for the tip!

  • Augusta Bailey

    The sauce was absolutely delicious! I used a grainy Dijon mustard for extra texture and it was fantastic.

  • Lessie Cremin

    This recipe is a lifesaver! I always end up making this sauce after a roast. It's so easy and flavorful.
