Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tuna steak, fish fillet, or chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the tuna steaks, fish fillets, or chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the protein and sear for 2-3 minutes per side (4-5 minutes for chicken) until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside, covered, to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and lightly browned.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt or pepper.
Return the cooked tuna, fish, or chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let them heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the protein with the ginger shiitake cream sauce drizzled generously over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
