Description

A rich, savory sauce loaded with sautéed mushrooms and garlic, simmered in cream and herbs—perfect over steak, chicken, or pasta.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 16 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
  2. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden.
  4. Pour in broth and scrape any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Stir in heavy cream, thyme, and rosemary. Simmer on low heat for 5–7 minutes, or until thickened to your liking.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushrooms for deeper flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth.
  • Add grated Parmesan for an extra layer of richness.
