How to Make Simple Butter Sauce
- Combine 1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer, uncovered, until the liquid reduces to about 1/4 cup (approximately 5-7 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, a tablespoon at a time, ensuring the sauce remains emulsified and doesn't break. Maintain a gentle simmer; if the sauce gets too hot, remove from heat briefly.
- Once all the butter is incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy, season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately over your favorite protein or vegetables.
- For best results, serve this sauce within 1 hour of making. Do not store for longer periods.
