Here’s a simple and rich Mushroom Sauce—creamy, savory, and perfect over steak, chicken, pasta, or veggies 🍄🤍
Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms (button, cremini, or mixed), sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef or chicken broth
- ½–¾ cup heavy cream
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh thyme or parsley
Instructions
- Sauté mushrooms
- Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown and liquid evaporates, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add garlic & flour
- Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over mushrooms, stirring 1 minute to remove raw taste.
- Add liquid
- Slowly pour in broth, scraping up any browned bits.
- Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Finish with cream
- Stir in cream, simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce is rich and creamy.
- Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Serve
- Spoon over steak, chicken, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
Tips & Variations
- No cream: Use extra broth and finish with a pat of butter.
- Garlic lovers: Add extra minced garlic or roasted garlic.
- Wine flavor: Deglaze pan with white wine before adding broth.
- Vegan: Use plant-based cream and vegetable broth.
If you want, I can give a quick 10-minute version, a steakhouse-style mushroom sauce, or a garlic-parmesan mushroom sauce.
