In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly browned.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Then add the heavy cream, continuing to whisk until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the warm sauce over your freshly cooked schnitzel or serve it on the side. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives for a burst of color and freshness.
