Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 small shallots, finely minced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, finely minced
• 200 grams cremini or button mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 60 milliliters dry white wine
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 2

Add the finely minced shallots and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring often to avoid burning.

Step 3

Increase the heat slightly, add the sliced mushrooms, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Cook the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped fresh thyme and cook for another minute to release its aroma.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the dry white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low, then stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer the sauce gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce. Adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the topping over freshly cooked steaks or veal. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
