Elevate your barbecue game with this luxurious Mushroom Sauce for BBQ Meats—a perfect blend of earthy cremini mushrooms, aromatic shallots, and garlic simmered in a creamy, flavor-packed base. This versatile sauce underscores the smokiness of grilled steak, pork chops, or smoked chicken, with a touch of dry white wine and soy sauce adding depth and umami. Infused with fresh thyme and enriched with heavy cream, it delivers a silky, restaurant-quality finish in just 35 minutes. Perfect for summer cookouts or cozy dinners, this mushroom sauce is a must-try condiment that complements any grilled meat beautifully.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil.
Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the finely chopped shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter and oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released most of their moisture.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the beef stock, soy sauce, and fresh thyme leaves. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, reducing slightly and concentrating the flavor.
Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the soy sauce adds some saltiness as well.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm over BBQ meats like grilled steak, smoked chicken, or pork chops, and enjoy!
