Method

  1. In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat.

  2. Cook and stir the shallots in the melted butter until they become translucent, which should take around 5 minutes.

  3. Add the parsley to the saucepan and sauté it for another 5 minutes.

  4. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

  5. Slowly and carefully pour the cognac over the shallot mixture.

  6. Cook and stir until the flames from the cognac have disappeared, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. Add the beef stock to the saucepan and bring it to a boil.

  8. Reduce the heat and add the creme fraiche to the mixture.

  9. Simmer the sauce until it is slightly reduced, which should take about 5 minutes.

  10. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until it is completely melted.

  11. If shallots are not available, you can use 2 tablespoons of onion powder as a substitute.

  12. When heating the cognac, be cautious of flammable objects around and above the pan, as the flames may get quite high. After the initial large flame has died down, a small blue flame may continue to burn for a few seconds.
