Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 medium Shallots
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 8 ounces Cremini or button mushrooms
- 1 cup Red wine
- 1 cup Beef or vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
Pour the red wine into the skillet to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the broth to the skillet and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper, and allow the sauce to cook for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and serve the sauce warm over steak, chicken, or pasta.
