Drizzle 1 tablespoon sauce on each plate; sprinkle with chive pieces, if desired.

I actually quadrupled the sauce. I used half the amount of Dijon mustard, perhaps my brand was overly strong but with half the amount of mustard it gave the right amount of bite without overpowering the other flavours. I cooked this for fathers day and it went down very well indeed! A definite impress the guests, comfort food meal!

Wow. This was yummy. The sauce was very good. The meat cooked quickly on the BBQ, I marinated for 3 days. Hubby loved it. After 3 helpings at dinner, he asked if he could take the rest for lunch. Even the 3 yr old and the 2 yr old liked it! WOW! Thanks AZRT!
