This Dijon mustard sauce technique is crucial because it produces a very fast and elegant sauce anytime you've roasted meat in a pan. All it requires is the fond, some type of liquid, and a small chunk of cold butter.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon pan drippings (fond)
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

Heat pan drippings (fond) in their skillet or roasting pan over high heat. Stir mustard into the skillet.
Pour chicken stock into the 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 creamy consistency, 2 to 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Whisk cold butter into sauce until butter is melted and sauce is shiny.

Chef's Note:

You can substitute apple juice or wine for the chicken stock, if desired.
