Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 small shallots, finely minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup dry sherry
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.
Pour in the dry sherry and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to concentrate.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, chicken or vegetable stock, and chopped thyme. Simmer the sauce gently for 5 minutes to let it thicken and develop the flavors.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve warm over your favorite dishes such as steak, chicken, fish, or mashed potatoes.
