How To Make dip essentials: beef & chicken tenders sauce

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    I did not include a recipe for chicken or beef tenders; although I have several out there, this is just a good tasty sauce that compliments beef and chicken.
  • Step 3
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Step 4
    Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Step 5
    When melted and the foaming subsides, add the flour.
  • Step 6
    Cook until the mixture resembles a thick paste, about 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Step 7
    Chef’s Note: Mixing a fat with flour is called making a Rue, and it is used as a thickener for sauces, soups, and stews.
  • Step 8
    Slowly whisk the milk in, and stir, while lightly simmering, until the sauce thickens, about 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Step 9
    Add the parmesan cheese, mustard, and honey, and stir until the cheese melts into the sauce, about 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Step 10
    Season with salt and pepper, to taste (I like mine peppery).
  • Step 11
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • So yummy
    Step 12
    Serve with beef or chicken tenders, or maybe breaded and fried veggies. Enjoy.
