Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 small shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup dry red wine
- 1 cup beef stock or broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.
Pour in the red wine and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat back to medium and pour in the beef stock, stirring to combine. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and serve the mushroom and wine sauce warm over cooked steak. Enjoy!
