Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 16 oz mushrooms, sliced baby bella (crimini) recommended
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • ½ cup dry red wine merlot, cabernet, or similar recommended
  • 5-6 sprigs fresh thyme or replace with ¾ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until the juices begin to release.
  • Add in chopped garlic. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add in wine and thyme. Stir to deglaze the pan. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, until the wine has reduced.
  • Mix cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of cold water. Gradually stir it into the sauce until it has thickened to your liking (you may not use all of the slurry). Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately atop your favorite steak, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Leftover mushroom steak sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Simply reheat in a pan on stovetop over medium heat.
