Best 5 How To Make A Pan Sauce Recipes

PAN SAUCE FOR CHICKEN, PORK, OR STEAK

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Remove the chicken, pork chops, or steak from the pan and let them rest on a plate or platter covered with foil in a warm spot. Pour off most of the fat from the pan, careful to leave the meat juices. You want a little bit of fat left in the pan.
• Add the chopped shallots to the pan and sauté over medium-high heat until they turn slightly translucent.
• Add the wine and scrape all the little toasty bits away from the bottom of the pan with your wooden spoon.
• Cook for about three minutes or until the wine has reduced by about half.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard and chopped parsley.
• Whisk in the butter one tablespoon at a time. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Return the meat to the pan to warm through in the sauce before serving.

LAMB PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour red wine into the roasting pan in which the Lamb was cooked.
• Place over medium heat, and scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan.
• Add stock and salt; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until liquid has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Skim fat from surface, as needed.
• Strain sauce into a gravy boat, and serve hot with sliced lamb.

DIJON PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat pan drippings (fond) in their skillet or roasting pan over high heat. Stir mustard into skillet.
• Pour chicken stock into skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook at a boil until sauce has a cream consistency, 2 to 5 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat. Whisk cold butter into sauce until butter is melted and sauce is shiny.

HOW TO MAKE A PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Measure the pan sauce ingredients in a measuring cup (liquid always totals 1/2 cup). Pour the liquid into hot skillet once meat, poultry or fish has been removed. Reduce liquid to 1/4 cup. Tilt the skillet and whisk in butter or cream, and spoon over each portion and serve.

PAN SAUCE FOR ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• After preparing Roast Chicken, remove rack from roasting pan, leaving necks in pan; place pan on stove (it may need to be set across two burners) over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until necks and chicken bits remaining in pan are deep brown, 3 to 4 minutes; spoon off and discard all but 1/4 cup of the fat.
• Add 1 cup dry white wine, and boil until reduced by half, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, 4 to 6 minutes. Carefully pour contents of pan through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan; add any juices that have accumulated on platter from resting chickens.
• Remove pan from heat; add 1 tablespoon cold butter, and swirl pan just until butter has melted and sauce has thickened. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper; serve with roast chickens. (If necessary, reheat sauce but do not boil.)
