Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium-sized Shallot, finely minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
- 0.25 cup Dry white wine (optional)
- 0.5 cup Beef or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the minced shallot and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
If using, pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the pan. Stir and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Add the beef or vegetable broth and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce the broth.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme leaves. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, then remove from heat.
Serve immediately over your favorite cut of steak.
