- The Creamy Pour: Reduce heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream. 🥛🌀🙌
- Simmer & Thicken: Let the sauce simmer gently for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces and coats the back of a spoon with a silky, glossy finish. ⏲️📈💎
- Season Heavily: Season with salt and a generous amount of coarse black pepper. You want to see those beautiful dark flecks throughout the gravy as seen in the photo! 🧂🖤🎯
- Serve: Pour this heavenly sauce over your favorite protein or a side of toasted bread and enjoy! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
