Ingredients

  • 2 (10 oz.) cans consomme
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 oz. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. flour
  • 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • dash of Tabasco
  • juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Cook the consomme until reduced to 1 cup.
  2. Melt butter in a pan and sauté the chopped green onions.
  3. Mix in flour, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, lemon juice, and mustard.
  4. Add the reduced consomme to the mixture and heat through.
  5. Pour the sauce over cooked meat and garnish with green onions.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine during the reduction stage. If you're out of green onions, chives or shallots work well as substitutes. To thicken the sauce further, use cornstarch mixed with water instead of flour. Adjust the level of Tabasco to your heat preference, and feel free to incorporate leftover mustard from your fridge to enhance the taste.

Serving Suggestions

This sauce pairs beautifully with leftover beef or pork, making it a perfect addition to your dinner table. Serve it over slices of meat with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. A crisp green salad or crusty bread like Irish Soda Bread(Scone) would complement the dish nicely, adding freshness and texture.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover Sauce Diable in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, do so gently on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent separation. If the sauce thickens too much upon cooling, add a splash of water or broth to regain the desired consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Sauce Diable ahead of time?

Yes, Sauce Diable can be made ahead of time. Prepare the sauce and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, simply reheat on low until warmed through. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.

What can I use in place of consomme?

If you don't have consomme, a good substitute is beef broth or chicken broth. For a vegetarian option, consider using vegetable broth or a Cream Soup Substitute Mix(Makes Nine 10 Ounce Cans Of Soup) to maintain a similar depth of flavor while keeping it meat-free.

Is there a way to make this sauce spicier?

Absolutely! To increase the heat in your Sauce Diable, you can add more Tabasco sauce or incorporate crushed red pepper flakes. For a different flavor profile, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of sriracha, adjusting to your taste preference.
