Ingredients
- 3/4 cup luxuriously rich heavy cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons “Better Than Bouillon” roasted beef base concentrate
- 1 teaspoon savory Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon roasted garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoons coarse-cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly snipped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch blended with 1 tablespoon cold water slurry
Instructions
- Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to make this delightful sauce step-by-step.
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- Start by collecting everything you’ll need. It’s much easier to cook when you have everything at your fingertips. Set them on the counter and start prepping.
Step 2: Start with the Cream
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the heavy cream. Heat it over low to medium heat. You want it to warm up, but don’t let it boil. Stir gently as you go.
Step 3: Add the Beef Base
- Next, add the “Better Than Bouillon” roasted beef base. Stir it into the cream until it’s fully incorporated. The flavor starts to come alive!
Step 4: Introduce Flavors
- Now, toss in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Keep stirring until it’s smooth. The kitchen is going to start smelling fantastic!
Step 5: Incorporate the Herbs
- Add your freshly snipped chives and dried thyme. These will elevate the sauce even more. Something magical happens when herbs hit creamy sauces.
Step 6: Thicken It Up
- Remember that slurry we made? Stir it in now, cooking for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens to your liking. You can adjust the thickness by adding more or less slurry.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
- Once thickened, your Whataburger Anjou sauce is ready to be served! Pour it into a dipping bowl and watch your friends and family dig in.
Notes
Here are a few handy tips to ensure your Anjou sauce is perfect:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh chives and high-quality heavy cream make a difference in flavor.
- Adjust Spice Levels: Feel free to tweak the seasoning to suit your tastes. More garlic? Go for it!
- Keep an Eye on Heat: Make sure not to cook on high heat; it may scorch the cream.
- Let it Cool Before Storing: If you’re saving it for later, allow it to cool completely before putting it in the fridge.
- Hide a Bit of Heat: A pinch of cayenne pepper can add an extra kick if you desire!
