Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced (cremini, button, or mixed)
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ small onion or 1 shallot finely chopped
  • ½ cup dry white wine or beef broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce optional
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or thyme chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Sauté the Aromatics
  2. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 6–8 minutes until browned and most of the moisture evaporates.
  5. Deglaze with Wine
  6. Pour in the white wine (or broth), scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  7. Add Cream and Simmer
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire (if using). Let the sauce simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  9. Season and Serve
  10. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh herbs and spoon over cooked steak immediately.

Notes

  • No Wine? Use beef broth for a non-alcoholic option.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Swap cream for coconut cream and butter for olive oil.
  • Make Ahead: Sauce can be made 1 day ahead and reheated gently over low heat.
  • Serving Ideas: Also delicious over chicken, pork chops, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
