Scale
For the Mushroom Sauce
- 8 ounces baby bella or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat to create a rich base for the sauce.
- Sauté mushrooms and garlic: Add the thinly sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the melted butter, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until the mushrooms are nicely browned, enhancing their flavor.
- Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and cracked black pepper, mixing well to combine all flavors.
- Reduce and thicken: Continue stirring the sauce periodically as it simmers for 5 to 8 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce and thicken to a creamy consistency perfect for drizzling over steak.
- Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the sauce and add additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm over cooked steak, optionally topping with extra cracked black pepper or a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- Cheese it up: For an even richer sauce, stir in a couple tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce before serving or sprinkle it on top after spooning over the steak.
- Make it vegetarian: Substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth to make this sauce vegetarian-friendly.
- Storage: This sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and gently reheated on the stovetop.
