Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 small Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Whiskey
- 0.5 cup Beef stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil. This helps the butter from burning.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Add the chopped shallots and sauté for another 2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Carefully pour in the whiskey and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to burn off the alcohol.
Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and chopped thyme. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the sauce warm, spooned generously over your favorite steak.
