Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 250 grams button mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters beef or chicken stock
- 100 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, stirring constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the beef or chicken stock, stirring to combine and ensure there are no lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken further.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and serve hot over your choice of steak, grilled chicken, or mashed potatoes.
