What goes in

✳
Make it your size

Tap as you measure. A little less to keep in your head.

Let’s make it

one step at a time
  1. 01

    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2–3 minutes until light golden.

  2. 02

    Slowly whisk in the beef broth, avoiding lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.

  3. 03

    Stir in heavy cream, soy sauce, and optional Dijon mustard. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 04

    Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 05

    If serving with cooked Swedish meatballs, add them and simmer for a few more minutes until coated and the flavors meld.

  6. 06

    Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or on their own, garnished with parsley.

✳

That’s a good thing made.
Enjoy every bite.
