Mushroom Sauce

Step 1

Heat oil and melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and leisurely cook until golden brown - takes about 4 to 5 minutes. No need to stir constantly.

Step 2

Just before they're done, add the garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until garlic is golden (~ 1 minute).

Step 3

Add white wine - it will sizzle! Stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet, for 1 minute or until mostly evaporated.

Step 4

Add broth, cream and parmesan. Stir, then lower heat to medium so the sauce is simmering - do not boil rapidly, cream may split.

Step 5

Stir occasionally and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes until it thickens. It shouldn't be super thick, this is a rich sauce.

Step 6

Stir through thyme, adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from stove.

Step 7

Serve over steak or other cooked protein. Toss through pasta, stuff into baked potatoes, serve with roast beef, chicken or pork, smothered omelettes. See in post for more ideas!
