Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Shallots
- 500 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup Red wine (dry)
- 0.5 cups Beef or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them into thick, even pieces. Mince the garlic and finely chop the shallots.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant and translucent, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Increase the heat slightly and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the oil and butter mixture.
Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until the mushrooms release their juices and begin to brown. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mushrooms are browned, pour in the red wine. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and lift any browned bits.
Add the beef or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce and thicken slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to create a velvety sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot on its own or as a topping for your favorite dish.
