Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 small shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 cup dry red wine
• 1 cup beef stock or broth
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.

Step 5

Pour in the red wine and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat back to medium and pour in the beef stock, stirring to combine. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve the mushroom and wine sauce warm over cooked steak. Enjoy!
