Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
¼ cup finely minced shallots
-
6 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
-
1 tablespoon crushed black pepper
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup cognac
-
1 ½ cups beef stock
-
6 tablespoons creme fraiche
-
2 tablespoons butter
Directions
-
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir shallots in hot butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add parsley and saute for 5 minutes; season with pepper and salt.
-
Carefully pour cognac over shallot mixture; cook and stir until flames have disappeared, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beef stock and bring to a boil; reduce heat, add creme fraiche, and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir 2 tablespoons butter into sauce until melted.
Recipe Tip
You can substitute 2 tablespoons onion powder for shallots.
Editor's Note:
The flames may get quite high when heating the cognac, so pay attention to anything flammable above and around the pan. When the initial large flame has died down, a small blue flame will continue to burn for several seconds.
