Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium, finely chopped shallots
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 8 ounces, sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1/3 cup dry sherry
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Pour in the dry sherry and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sherry has mostly reduced.
Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth and fresh thyme. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm over steaks, chicken, pasta, or potatoes.
