Prep ingredients: Roughly chop the shallot and gather all remaining ingredients.
Blend base: Add the chopped shallot and all liquids to a mason jar. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and emulsified.
Mix in remaining ingredients: Stir in the remaining ingredients until fully incorporated.
Rest to develop flavor: Let the sauce sit for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve and enjoy: Use as a sauce for poultry, beef, pork, vegetables — or serve it as a dip, spread, or marinade.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the emulsion form more easily when blending, resulting in a smoother, more cohesive sauce.
Finely mince shallots before blending: Even with an immersion blender, starting with smaller pieces ensures a more even texture and better flavor distribution.
Choose high-quality mustard: Stone ground mustard can vary widely — look for one with visible seeds and minimal added sugar for the best flavor.
Let it rest before serving: Allowing the sauce to sit for 15–30 minutes helps the flavors meld and intensify without additional cooking.
Store in glass: Acidic ingredients like wine and mustard can react with metal or plastic. Use a glass jar or bowl for storage to preserve the sauce’s clean flavor.
