Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large (thinly sliced) yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
- 8 ounces (thinly sliced) cremini mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) fresh thyme
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 0.25 cup beef stock
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 2 teaspoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the olive oil to the pan and let it melt together.
Add the thinly sliced onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until it softens and begins to caramelize.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
Sprinkle in the chopped fresh thyme and stir to combine.
Deglaze the skillet with the dry white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let the wine cook down for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the beef stock and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season the topping with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the savory steak topper with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
