Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk for smooth blending
- Knife and chopping board forshallots and truffle
- Spoon or spatula for mixing
- Airtight container for storage
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp truffle oil preferably high-quality for the best flavor
- 1 tsp finely chopped black truffle optional but adds extra richness
- 1 tsp finely minced shallots
- ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ tsp fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Start by finely mincing the shallots and chopping the black truffle (if using). The finer the chop, the smoother your sauce will be.
- Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth and fully blended. This creates a creamy base for your sauce.
- Add the Flavors: Stir in the truffle oil, chopped black truffle (if you're using it), minced shallots, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. The truffle oil and shallots will give the sauce its distinct, earthy flavor.
- Season the Sauce: Taste the sauce and add salt and black pepper as needed. Both the truffle oil and Worcestershire sauce have a savory flavor, so be cautious when seasoning.
- Let It Rest: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. The resting time allows the flavors to blend together, making the sauce more flavorful.
- Final Taste and Adjustment: After the sauce has rested, taste it again and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If it needs more tang, add a little more lemon juice or a pinch of salt.
- Serve: Your Shake Shack Black Truffle Sauce is now ready! Serve it on burgers, fries, grilled meats, or even as a dip for veggies. The creamy, truffle-rich sauce will elevate any dish.
