Description

This sauce—made with chanterelles, morels, or a combination of wild and cultivated mushrooms—is excellent over most grilled meats, including veal or beef medallions.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2 ounces portobello mushrooms, sliced
2 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced
2 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 ounces morel mushrooms, sliced
2 ounces chanterelle mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup red wine
6 fluid ounces beef demi glace
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté shallots briefly, then stir in all mushrooms. Sauté until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in red wine, and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in demi-glace and simmer for 6 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
