Learn how to make the Original Zip Sauce Recipe with butter, cream, garlic, and soy sauce. This easy steakhouse-style sauce is rich, creamy, and ready in 30 minutes.
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of unsalted butter and allow it to melt gently.
Add the chopped shallots and chopped garlic to the melted butter. Cook them for about 5 minutes until they become soft and fragrant.
Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into the saucepan. Stir continuously using a whisk. Let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the cream to reduce slightly and thicken.
Add soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and white pepper to the saucepan. Continue whisking to combine all the flavors evenly.
Slowly add 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, a little at a time, while constantly stirring. This process helps create the smooth and creamy texture that Zip sauce is known for.
Once the butter is fully melted and the sauce thickens, remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover the sauce to keep it warm until ready to serve.
Your homemade Original Zip Sauce is now ready to enjoy.
Notes
