Note

This sauce is specifically designed to counteract the dryness of late-season moose or other lean game meats. It also pairs well with lean beef cuts.

Ensure the dried green onions are plumped in a small amount of water before adding them to the pan to rehydrate them properly.

If the sauce reduces too much during cooking, add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
