Vegan Mustard Cream Sauce Recipe

It's going to sound strange, but I came up with this sauce for my brother's rib eye roast that he was cooking for Thanksgiving. I wanted a sauce we could both enjoy with our respective meals. He eats meat. I don't.

I know French mustard sauce is a classic and I also know that mustard goes pretty well with meat. I like any kind of sauce that's spicy. So that's the story behind that and here we are. 

I kept the heat and spice mild because he doesn't enjoy a lot of it. But I still added a little because it's just the right way to make a sauce. 

It was nice to see him enjoy the dairy free, vegan sauce even if it was with a big hunk of beef.
