🥘Ingredients

Ingredients

1/2 cup whole grain mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a medium saucepan, combine mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water.
2Stir well to mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the sugar is evenly distributed.
3Place the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
4Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
5Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth to create a slurry.
7Gradually add the slurry to the saucepan while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
8Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
9This should be a thick, glossy sauce.
10Stir in Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, ground cloves, ground ginger, salt, and cayenne pepper.
11Mix well until all the spices are evenly incorporated into the sauce.
12Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
13Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
14The sauce should have a thick, tangy consistency with a rich, deep color.
15If the sauce is too thick, you can add a small amount of water to reach your desired consistency.
16If it is too thin, simmer it for a few more minutes.
17Serve the mustard sauce warm over sliced corned beef and enjoy.
