  4. Set it aside in a dish while leaving the remaining juices in the saucepan.
  5. In another saucepan, add the flour and stir over heat until it becomes light brown in color—do not overcook!
  6. Then, add half the butter.
  7. Add the walnuts, garlic, and egg yolks, stirring constantly.
  8. Add the meat juices from the other saucepan.
