Make a rich, versatile mushroom sauce perfect for steak, chicken, pasta, or potatoes. This recipe is quick and yields a velvety texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until they start to brown. Stir and continue cooking until all the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are deeply browned, about 5 to 7 minutes total.
  3. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the white wine or broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the liquid reduce by half.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, vegetable broth, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  8. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the fresh parsley before serving over your chosen dish.

Notes

  • For a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream, but simmer for a shorter time to prevent breaking.
  • For a gluten-free sauce, confirm your broth and mustard are certified gluten-free.
  • To make this sauce vegan, use olive oil instead of butter, use full-fat coconut milk or cashew cream instead of heavy cream, and omit the Parmesan or use a vegan substitute.
