Description
This rich mushroom sauce for steak is loaded with mushrooms and made deliciously savory with beef stock, red wine, and fresh thyme.
Ingredients
•
1/4 cup unsalted butter
•
1/4 cup chopped onion
•
1 (12 ounce) package white mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
•
1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
•
1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
•
3/4 cup beef stock
•
1/4 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon)
•
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
•
8 sprigs fresh thyme, or to taste
•
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
Directions
1
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until it begins to soften and turn clear, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and salt; stir well and cook until mushrooms begin to release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2
Combine beef stock, wine, and Worcestershire sauce in a small measuring cup. Pour into the skillet and stir in thyme sprigs and pepper; bring to a boil.
3
Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until liquid has reduced and sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
