Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

1/4 cup dry red wine

1 cup reduced sodium beef broth

1 tablespoon ThicknThin Not Starch thickener

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard (optional)

1 tablespoon butter

Pour red wine into pan; increase heat to high. Scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook wine until almost dry, 1 minute. Add broth and thickener and stir well. Bring to a boil, cook 1 minute, and remove from heat.

Stir in mustard and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Description: "Lamb has a rich and mild flavor, which we balanced by adding a mustard-infused sauce with a zesty tang."
