Mushroom Steak Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 ounces small cremini or button mushrooms sliced
- 1 small shallot minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- ⅓ cup dry white wine or dry red wine
- 1 cup beef stock or chicken stock
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Return the skillet used for the steaks to the stove top set over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil.
- Once melted add the mushrooms and stir to coat. Spread in an even layer and cook undisturbed until the mushrooms are well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Stir and continue cooking until the moisture is released and then evaporates and the mushrooms are well browned, about 3 minutes more.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan with the shallots and mushrooms.
- Cook stirring frequently until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and thyme leaves and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Gradually add the wine and stir to deglaze the pan while scraping up any browned bits on the bottom.
- Continue cooking until almost all the wine has evaporated.
- Stir the cornstarch into the beef stock then add the beef stock, mustard and Worcestershire to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
- Continue to cook and stir until the sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cream. Heat gently for a few minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
- Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of beef stock if needed for desired consistency.
- Transfer the steaks to individual plates and pour any accumulated juices into the mushroom sauce. Stir to combine then spoon over the steaks and serve immediately.
