Yield Makes about 2 cups each

Number Of Ingredients 15

Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
10 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate,
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Butterscotch-Pecan Sauce
1 cup pecan halves
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Scotch whiskey
3/4 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • For chocolate sauce:
  • Stir water and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil; 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mix in instant coffee granules. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Stir in cream, vanilla and salt. Cool slightly. Transfer to 2-cup jars. Seal tightly. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead; refrigerate.)
  • For butterscotch sauce:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Place pecans on cookie sheet. Toast until fragrant and just beginning to brown, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Stir sugar and Scotch whiskey in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil. Boil without stirring until mixture is deep amber color, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in cream (mixture will bubble up). Return to boil, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, salt and pecans. Cool sauce slightly. Transfer to 2-cup jar. Seal tightly. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead; refrigerate.)

This sauce is okay. It's not the best black and tan sauce I've ever had, but it's not bad either. I think it would be better with a little more seasoning.

This sauce was a disaster! It turned out lumpy and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This sauce was good, but not great. I think it needed a bit more flavor. I added some garlic and herbs, and it improved the taste a lot.

I'm not a huge fan of this sauce. I found it to be a bit too rich and heavy. However, I think it would be good on a steak or other grilled meat.

I've made this sauce a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so versatile, too. I've used it on everything from steak to chicken to fish, and it's always delicious.

This black and tan sauce recipe was a hit at my last dinner party. The combination of the rich demi-glace and the creamy béchamel was divine, and the sauce paired perfectly with the grilled steaks.
