Mushrooms and Aromatics
- 8 ounces baby bella or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
Sauce
- 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
- Melt Butter: In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until it is fully melted and starting to bubble slightly.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: Add the thinly sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
- Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and cracked black pepper.
- Reduce and Thicken: Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring periodically, for 5-8 minutes until the liquid reduces by about half and the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Final Taste and Serve: Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve the mushroom sauce warm over steak, optionally topping with additional cracked black pepper. Enjoy your enhanced steak dinner!
Notes
- Cheese it up: For an extra layer of flavor and creaminess, stir in a couple tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce just before serving or sprinkle some on top after spooning over the steak.
- Use cremini or baby bella mushrooms for a deeper flavor; white button mushrooms can be substituted but have a milder taste.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, continue to simmer a bit longer until desired consistency is reached.
- To make this gluten-free, ensure the Worcestershire sauce used is gluten-free.
