From steaks to chicken, chops to pasta, this creamy Mushroom Sauce is one you'll make over and over again. See in post for more uses! Luxurious yet simple, the key here is getting complexity into the sauce using wine, parmesan and broth. See note for how to lighten this up.

Ingredients

2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup parmesan ,finely grated
1 cup (250 ml) heavy / thickened cream
1/2 cup (125 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
1/4 cup (65 ml) white wine or rose , dry
2 garlic cloves , minced
Pinch of salt and pepper
300g / 10 oz mushrooms , sliced
1/2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. unsalted butter

Method

01

Heat oil and melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and leisurely cook until golden brown - takes about 4 to 5 minutes. No need to stir constantly.
02

Just before they're done, add the garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until garlic is golden (~ 1 minute).
03

Add white wine - it will sizzle! Stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet, for 1 minute or until mostly evaporated.
04

Add broth, cream and parmesan. Stir, then lower heat to medium so the sauce is simmering - do not boil rapidly, cream may split.
05

Stir occasionally and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes until it thickens. It shouldn't be super thick, this is a rich sauce.
06

Stir through thyme, adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from stove.
07

Serve over steak or other cooked protein. Toss through pasta, stuff into baked potatoes, serve with roast beef, chicken or pork, smothered omelettes. See in post for more ideas!
