Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces button mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat them evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and optionally garnish the sauce with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the warm mushroom sauce over freshly sliced meatloaf and enjoy!
