Ingredients
Mushroom Sauce Ingredients
- 8 ounces baby bella or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat to create a flavorful base for the sauce.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: Add the thinly sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are nicely browned, releasing their juices and enhancing their umami flavor.
- Add Liquids and Seasonings: Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and cracked black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Reduce and Thicken: Continue cooking the mixture, stirring occasionally for 5-8 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the liquid reduces to a creamy consistency.
- Season to Taste and Serve: Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve the mushroom sauce hot over your favorite steak and garnish with additional cracked black pepper if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit Worcestershire sauce or use a vegetarian alternative.
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
- The sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving.
- If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of broth or cream to thin it.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
