Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) Mushrooms sliced mushrooms such as cremini, white button, or a mix
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 - 2 tbsp Butter room temperature
- 2 small Garlic cloves sliced
- 2 tbsp Flour
- ¼ cup (60 ml) White wine
- 1 small Onion powder
- 1 spring Thyme
- 1 Bay leaf optional
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ cup (120 ml) Beef broth or 1/2 tsp stock powder
- ½ cup (120 ml) Heavy cream or half/half
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper powder
- 1 tbsp Chopped parsley
- Beef steak dripping, if any optional
Instructions
- Step 1: Slice and Toast the Mushrooms - Start by slicing your mushrooms thinly — this helps them brown faster. In a heavy-bottomed skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and spread them out. Don’t stir too much — let them sit and get golden before tossing. This toasting step is key to deep, earthy flavor.2 cups Mushrooms, 1 tbsp Olive oil , 1 - 2 tbsp Butter
- Step 2: Add Garlic and Flour - Once the mushrooms are golden, lower the heat slightly and add the sliced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds just until fragrant. Then sprinkle in the flour and stir well to coat the mushrooms. Cook for about a minute to get rid of the raw flour taste — this helps thicken the sauce later.2 small Garlic cloves, 2 tbsp Flour
- Step 3: Deglaze with White Wine - Pour in the white wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the pan (hello, flavor!). Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced. This step balances the richness with acidity — essential for a steak sauce that’s not too heavy.¼ cup White wine
- Step 4: Add broth or Stock Powder, onion powder, Thyme, mustard and Bay Leaf - Sprinkle in your broth or stock powder, onion powder, mustard, and add 1 sprig of thyme leaves plus a bay leaf. Stir to combine, then let everything simmer for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.1 small Onion powder, 1 spring Thyme , 1 Bay leaf, ½ cup Beef broth, ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- Step 5: Finish with Cream and Butter - Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream and a second tablespoon of butter. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. You can also add any steak pan drippings at this point.½ cup Heavy cream, ½ tsp Kosher salt, ½ tsp Black pepper powder, Beef steak dripping, if any
- Step 6: Garnish and Serve - Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprig. Stir in a little chopped parsley for color and freshness. Serve hot over your favorite steak — spoon generously!1 tbsp Chopped parsley
