Sauce for Boiled Mutton or Boiled Brisket of Beef

A rich, creamy butter-based sauce with onions and vinegar, perfect for serving with boiled mutton or beef brisket. This classic white sauce has a tangy finish from vinegar and a smooth texture from the roux base.

  • 4 ounces Butter, clarified or water removed (Original recipe calls for butter free of water)
  • 1 tablespoon Onions, finely sliced (About 1 small onion, very thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour, finely sifted (Sift before measuring for smoothest sauce)
  • 2 cups Whole milk (16 ounces; use pure whole milk for best results)
  • 6 tablespoons White wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar (Two wineglasses; approximately 6 tablespoons)
  • 0.5 teaspoon White pepper, finely ground (To taste; adjust as desired)

Instructions

  1. 1Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and allow it to warm for about 1 minute. Add the butter and melt it completely, ensuring all water has evaporated if using regular butter.
  2. 2Add the finely sliced onions to the melted butter. Fry them, stirring occasionally, until they are half browned and softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. 3Gradually add the sifted flour to the pan, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk. Continue stirring for 2-3 minutes to cook the flour and create a smooth roux. Do not let it brown.
  4. 4Slowly pour in the milk, adding it gradually while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. 5Add the vinegar, white pepper, and salt to the sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. 6Remove the sauce from heat and serve immediately over boiled mutton or boiled brisket of beef. The sauce should be smooth, creamy, and have a pleasant tangy flavor.
